Windows Vista Beta 2 - Available to the public :)

[formulav8]

The downloads should be 3-4GB correct? So even the 400MB downloads some said they got above wouldn't be the complete file if that is the case?

Microsoft seems to have it together today, I pulled down the x64 ISO a couple hours ago in just over an hour. I was pulling 900-1000K the entire download (maxing out my connection).

I'm not sure if a torrent is necessary at this point.

well its still giving the server too busy try later here..

same here

Which link are you using? I got the same "We're too busy right now" but FlashGet didn't have an issue downloading the ISO directly.

If you need keys you may have trouble, but I got my keys last night.

As for setting up a torrent I've never done it but if you want to do the dirty work I'll seed. I'm only on a cable connection though so I'm afraid it won't be terribly helpful.

Viper GTS

tried all of them...
I have 2 keys already need software..
steady server is too busy for last 8 hours.

I'm getting a 4.01GB size for the x64 through FreshDownload...correct?
8 hours left....
And resume isn't supported...
Damn

3GB for x86, 4GB for x64.

I'm working on getting a torrent up all, I'll post when its ready.

Hmmmm....I'm tempted to try this but I just got my HTPC running without any hitches and I don't have a second PC to try it on...

Don't bother with a torrent, I'll get you a direct link in a minute.

I've got a direct link to x64, or is yours actually reliable unlike MS?

 

[herkulease]

connection was great for me, max out my line at 310K. but once I approached 1.9 gigs the thing slowed down to crawl. get 0-3K. grr. good thing I can resume.

Burning the x64 ISO now, but my only x64 machine is kind of dead at the moment so I can't actually use it yet.

So far Nero hasn't had any issue opening/burning it though, which is encouraging.

[EDIT]Burned fine, obviously can't run setup but I can browse the disc.[/EDIT]

I have it on one of my servers, just need to circumvent Apache's size limit before I can link to it.

Torrents are up folks!!

 

[DeviousTrap]

Had to split the iso into 1GB of parts to get around the linux 2gb file size limit.

64bit iso:
Part1
Part2
Part3
Part4
Part5

 

[fbrdphreak]

Thanks I'll add them to the OP when you've got all the parts up

I hate how it looks. I feel like the design has taken a step back.

I've seen better 3rd party themes for XP.

 

[unfalliblekrutch]

x86 iso torrent has no seeds?

 

[Kelemvor]

Any idea when it expires?

grabbed it from microsoft's site @ 3.7 meg a second

(i <3 fios)

Something's strange with the x64 torrent. Start it and instantly get constant HDD activity and 100% CPU usage and the speed gets capped at 9.9 KB/sec. I don't get it.
