samj: Thanks for all the help. I have gmic working now. As I said I unzipped the 64 bit zip to my root C:\ directory. I get 377 filters. Which is probably more than I will ever need. I tried the link at http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease_windows/gmic_gimp_qt_win64.zip
four times but the transfer would get stuck at 3.5 mb or 0.2 mb and then abort.
