Scirwode Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I downloaded the Beta after about two days and it took me about 16 hours using FlashGet to download the file. The Microsoft servers were really getting hammered at the time :p . Wonder if it's still down at the moment, after a few days... :shifty: :whistle: . PSG22?

Echilon Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I actually started downloading it from Usenet the night before it was released. I couldn;t wait any longer, but I waited until they started giving out keys before I installed it.

xxdesmus Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 well, I've been in the beta, so a long time ago, but I posted first (or very close) regarding the public download going live...so probably just about as early as possible ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/468778-when-did-you-download-vista-beta-2/page/2/#findComment-587595218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
worfking Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 got it with mins of being released. installed it 2 hours later(35 mins for a clean install) and been playing with this ever since. if you have 2 hard drives install from one to the other only 35 mins that way Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/468778-when-did-you-download-vista-beta-2/page/2/#findComment-587595634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 It took me 15 hours to download. I eventually got a Download Accelerator, because 0 kb/sec does not exactly work when you are on cable and everyone is dling it.
