Adwords Reporting. What happened?

I worked up a rage today trying to get the damn AdWords Download Centre to work. Not very long ago this was a painless 2 minute process. Recently, however, Google decided it would be a hugely funny gag to mix weird symbols into my reports - if I ever got them.

I desperately need this data... but two days later it's still pending. How did they manage to slow the process down by nearly by 3,000 times (and counting...)? The genius of the Download Centre isn't that the Sun rises and sets more than once whilst you wait, or that people have been known to contract and die from viruses in less time, but in having 'delete' buttons next to each pending report which don't delete (they don't do anything!! I reckon). Occasionally I press them again (it's something to do).

I'm now up to my fifth pending report (the maximum, apparently) which means nothing can happen – not now, not ever - it's over.

I've decided instead to shun all technology, I'll work the land like my forefathers. Hmm
