Since last month I cannot download some orchestra instruments on my GarageBand. See below: I clicked the download button, but there is no response. I tried switching another account, but still doesn't work. My GarageBand version is 10.3.1. How do I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Sequel 1.0.1 Entry-level loop-based music program
Sequel encourages a loop-based style of composition that lets you drag and drop audio and MIDI loops into a single window - everything is automatically adjusted for key and time signature. The program includes more than 4,500 loops (plus another 500 when you register the software) and more than 600 instruments covering a variety of musical genres, including dance, metal, electronic, and world music. Sequel's structure resembles GarageBand but lacks much of its interconnectivity. Instead it adds the Arrange Mode. This mode allows you to assign sections of songs to pads that can be triggered in whatever order you wish and played in real time. Live performers and DJs can use this to add a sense of spontaneity that you don't usually get from loops. In fact, DJs will find that it excels at creating the kind of dance music you'd hear in a club.
