I couldn't get the Download Manager to work (Downloaded a 900kb file), and I couldn't get the direct download to work (Both downloads hanged at 33%, then wouldn't restart), so I want to give torrent a try. Am I allowed to ask for a torrent like last time or is this now against the rules? It was my understanding that Microsoft didn't approve of the torrent last time just to make a message that it wasn't official and they don't support torrents, but they were happy to turn a blind eye.

Well i'm no computer know it all, so im gonna ask a newbish question since this can affect me greatly.

I'm using a USB modem for my ADSL connection (so it needs a driver to work) i'm right now using WinXP x64 with no problems, so my question is.. will the same 64bit I use right now work with x64 vista?

Argh, damn it. I downloaded the 32-bit ISO about 2 hours ago and burnt it. Both finished 100%. I just started to install it, and it gets about a quarter of the way of 'Expanding files' and it dies with the error that some files may be corrupt or damaged.

There goes 2.5GB down the drain... will try later.

Has anyone else had this issue? :pinch:

Check the MD5 hash of the file. Your ISO may be corrupt.

I haven't got the email or have seen any indication that they are going to send one. Is there somewhere where I can request for it? Even though I haven't finished my download just yet, I still would like to be prepared.

To get an e-mail you had to register for the Beta 2 CPP. The e-mail will be sent to the e-mail you used to register for the Beta 2 CPP. Your key will be in the e-mail.

Heh, screw waiting for the email. I downloaded it on Saturday and luckily saved my Beta 2 email. :)

Nice build I must say. It installed fine and is running smooth as silk for me. I've got all my devices installed and have experienced no crashes or slow downs. A big improvement over Beta 2.

Why does the downloader & direct browser download only d/l 907 bytes & say it is finished? I can't download the full ISO file.

Mine did the same thing. I had to shut down and restart my computer. I think it is something in the Download Mannager that needs the shutdown to get configured the right way.

Rather impressed.. I must say.

Burnt the ISO at 16x, installed without a hitch - much faster than Beta 2 installation too.

Detected all my hardware - only had to install the creative beta soundblaster drivers.

Couldn't get it to pick up my network with Beta 2, and as a result - was unable to use the net, working straight out the tin on RC1. It's much smoother too.

I can only hope that RC2 keeps up this trend!

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
