ootput Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 You all will prolly have to wait since theres only the network installers which is big and i dont think many people will host it although, you can wait for the express installer! Yeah guys. I retract my earlier ygpm offer. :blush: Getting the download (which is pretty big,) at decent d/l speeds is a p.i.t.a :angry: Its worth it though.

Iluvatar Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 it wont download from the beta site for me :( It opens up the MS Transfer Manager and it just sits there and says active but it never downloads anything and says 0.0KB/s in the transfer speed until the whole thing times out.......anybody have any suggestions? I already tried removing the activex control and reinstalled it but still no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephens_J Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 It depends how you read the rule, even from a moderating point of view. "This includes linking to software" so everyone who posted a link to even a DIRECT link is in actual fact abusing the rules, but then this is a software thread... and the argument could then be, the rules can be stretched and not broken.

It's why I edited my comments earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderRiver Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 What are the image files? Are they XP with SP2 integrated already? Yes, they are SP2 integrated builds with time bomb Anyway, for those that are whining about the Download Manager. Do no use SP2 XP to download. Unless you lower the ActiveX security, you will have difficulties downloading. Also, be more patient. I haven't been forced to download through BitTorrent like some of you did. It is really not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.MULLA Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 is this RC2 the final release of SP2 ??? (sorry for my ignorance) if so we'll have to wait a few hours for direct links to downloads.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3ta Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm downloading without any problems here. Going @ 4.8k/sec. Sure it will take an eternity, but what else do I have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderRiver Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 RC3 is rare. I would not expect RC3 coming. it will be either RC1 or RC2, or post RC2 builds, and which ever is more stable than the others will be chosen as final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3ta Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I have a suspicion that since they've worked all through the weekend to polish off RC2 - there will be no RC3 but gold by the end of the month. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
