I was unable to get Vegas Post DL manager to download anything last night after purchase. It stayed paused and at 0%. I went down this rabbit trail of finding the offline installers for each, which also did not download until I manually change the dl url (as someone else found on the forum) to get them. After installing them, I could not launch a few of them Image, for example because it wanted me to activate Vegas Post. But there was no "Post" software to activate.

Now, I retried the Vegas Post 19 download manager today and its working, so guess im redownloading all the currently installed stuff through that. Im guessing this will allow proper activation now, but for people who end up having to rely on offline installers like I did above, what is the solution for activating them? Vegas Pro and Sound Forge both had an activation screen which did work, but Image did not and seemed more like a poop out of luck situation. Might as well post on that here to get an answer in case someone in the future runs into the problem.
