Vista Beta 2 in Splitted WinZip Files?

[Guest]

Is there a link to any site that has Vista Beta 2 splitted into smaller
file sizes than the gigantic 3.5GB single file ISO? With speeds like
100kbps there's no hope to reach 3500MB *without* disconnection...

Any suggestions highly appreciated...

That's what the download manager is for. It's supposed to be able to
resume an interrupted download. Alternatively, order the DVD.

No, and if it was split up, there is no guarantee of working when you put it
back together. Order the DVD.

Your connection must really really suck if you cant even d/l 3.5G on a
broadband connection

It's more like the servers are so jammed up that it stops every 150 MB

Ouch...makes sense now..I've been reading that this is going to be the most
downloaded PoS (piece of software in internet history or something like
that

when you go do download choose another country, perhaps you may be directed
to a server
that has less strain and use a download manager like:

www.freedownloadmanager.org or www.flashget.com

or

download the iso via TORRENT using a torrent client like www.utorrent.com
(you will need to search for the correct torrent file and use the product
key generated from the
microsoft site)

Okay, we've done it: VistaTorrent.com. I've set this up with Jake Ludington, so that
(a) people can use BitTorrent to download Windows Vista Beta 2, as they're likely using BitTorrent to do it anyway;
(b) people will now have an official MD5 hash to check against any Windows Vista (Beta 2) ISO files they might download elsewhere;
(c) we can help Microsoft, based on earlier reports from them and subsequent complaints from users. We're only doing this to help,
knowing that nobody wants to wait 4 weeks for a DVD to arrive when the ISO could be downloaded so much quicker through peer-to-peer
networks (with a MANDATORY MD5 CHECKSUM comparison). If you send anybody anywhere, it's all on VistaTorrent.com. This is not a
crack, this is not a hack, this is not software piracy - it's unofficial mirroring with official validation.

We are fully prepared to kill the seeded torrent upon request, but would appeal to Microsoft's better senses - if Microsoft isn't
going to do it themselves, isn't it better that someone trusted is doing it for them?!

HTH, Roman
