[Soldiers33]

ffs ive been waiting for so long, and now getting 404 page cannot be found. this is a **** take.

i tried to be a gd boy and download from ms, but looks like torrents is the way to go, and timestopper :)

[l Ancient l]

Yes ! 404.... now thats new after Service Unavailable and Server is too Busy :D

[dtechy]

just says the file im downloading has changed on the server!!

I got that too after 93 frickken percent.

It won't resume :angry:

[Kronir]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What should I do?

Glad I got mine earlier. :blink:

Yeah, the page is doing odd things now. One time I saw a Page Not found message that had a lot of MS search links, and the rest of the time its Cannot display This Webpage. I'm not even getting the Server Is Too Busy messages now. Seems they're doing something...

[AaronMT]

No joke guys i was getting server errors on the neowin forums LMFAO.

If you guys are like me i am going from checking the comments on the main page, to checking this topic, to 5 different tabs just reloading the beta key page over and over and over and OVER.

This is it. This is exactly why the Akamai servers @ Microsoft are down. This method of adding fuel to a raging fire will not fix the problem.

on technet

[thealexweb]

Now they've pulled the page altogether. Good one Microsoft.

Interest in Microsoft?s new operating system, Windows 7, is apparently significantly greater than the software giant had anticipated ? the company?s servers ground to a halt almost immediately they opened for business from developer subscribers earlier today. Now, with the number of global downloads for the general public limited to just 2.5million, it?s likely that the free beta stocks will run out almost instantly.

This is despite the company?s official recommendation that typical consumers consider the beta as simply an experiment that?s primarily only suitable for the technically very literate and those pride themselves on being ?early-adopters?.

In fact, however, the high-level of demand has been building for months. Windows 7 has proved itself to be unusually popular with developers, who have praised the operating system for being stable, efficient and more intuitive than its predecessor Vista was at an equivalent stage in development.

Ill go make some dinner, 2.5 million keys can't go that fast, especially at this rate. :rolleyes:

[Krigo]

404's just so amazing.

[trek]

lol they've taken down the TechNet page... Maybe they should not have announced a limit on the number of downloads so people wouldn't all converge n the page at 12pm PST ;)

[Eric Veteran]

page say

Windows? 7 Beta coming soon!

I get that now too for the TechNet page... Apparently there's some buffoonery going on in Redmond.:pp

[MrChainsaw]

Finally, something is happening (I think)

[DELTETHISACCOUNT]

I'm getting the "Windows 7 Beta Coming Soon!" screen here at work and via remote desktop at home.

First in Chrome, now IE is showing the same thing.

[atleeit]

i'm really not happy, no it's completly down :(

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

I have been starring at this for 20 minutes. Stuck at 98%. If they have pulled the DL, I will not try again. Then people ask why everyone hates MS.

[Inctye]

Looks like they are making final preparations before putting everything. Hope they don't take too long.

[Unimatrix Xero]

coming soon for me as well

[Rackerz]

Worked for me guys!
