Hello Intel,

You are going to need to download with either the Free Download Manager if
you use that link or just download straight thru IE.

Tom,

with 'wget' download manager all it downloads is
"`referrer-denied.html'

Hello All,

If you are having trouble downloading pre-RC1 here are some things
that you can do to get it to download.

1. Clear all cookies, temporary internet files
2. Run disk cleanup to clear all temporary folders
3. Try downloading without the download manager (it goes slower..I
know..but at least you will have pre-RC1)
4. If you want to use a download manager I recommend Free Download
Manager
(http://www.freedownloadmanager.org)
Again the download link is
http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/prerc1/en/download.html

If you want to verify that all is well with the ISO you just
downloaded, get a CRC checking utility and check the ISO against the
following checksums.

Signatures of the ISO file:
MD5 hash: e7f0a439e1e61d57ebf3c4f89e2f96d7
SHA1 hash: d1e7eaeb9893200c80e8a4902f2b012f3ff3eef6
After you get it installed, please install the Feedback tool and set
it so your bug reports are public. Directions are as follows.

To do this make sure you have the latest Beta Client. (Install by
using the icon on your desktop after you install.) In the client go
to the Options link on the left hand side of the window and select
Enable Advanced Tracking Options. Before you send your report, on the
finish page make sure you select Public down towards the bottom of
the window and then send your report off. I'll monitor this group and
then if you have questions about your feedback leave them here and I
or one of the other Tech Testers can review your feedback in Connect.

If you have any other questions post them here and I will be glad to
do the best I can to help you solve your problems.

I connect through DSL using a Netgear WGR614 wireless router. The computer
with pre-RC1 is wired not wireless.

Hello Matt,

Try running this command from either an elevated command prompt or with UAC
disabled.

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
