Windows 7 RC download early

[Jeff_MSWindows]

What's the URL for the x64 version..?!

Can you not get the x64 version here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx ? Just wondering if people are having problems from there...

I just downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx. Selected "Download 64-bit version" at the bottom of the page.

[Minifig]

Damn it.. The version I dled from the site was only 484 meg?

WTF? :blink:

[Gary2MBz]

The forum name can officially be changed to just Windows 7, no longer a need for the beta part IMO. LMAO @ the people who didn't think 7100 was the real deal, its been leaked for 2 weeks even before the MSDN/Technet people get it.

When I try to download it, the download manager comes up, and then it says that the MD5 is incorrect. Hmm

It seems (at least in my case) you MUST use IE8 and the ActiveX download manager, the Java one seems to not work.

I know that, but I'd rather use a regular download manager, as the MS Java one only gives me 4 connections and drops down to double and sometimes single digits KBps...anyways I found the complete URL for the x64 ISO and am downloading it at around 1.41MB to 2.01MB per second using 10 connections and will have it in about 30 minutes or so.

I've got an 18Mbps (aka 2.25MBps) download connection....not as fast as some people on here, but I may be getting it from a local server as MS has a 'campus' -- more like an office although I've never been there -- in Mississuaga, ON.

I was able to hit transfer speeds of like 6+ MB/s off U of T's connection for the beta. :D

That is no fair...! :angry:

[Access Denied]

I got my 7100 x64 RC downloading. Ahhhhhh, The final install I'll have to do with 7 for a while hopefully. :)

[Minifig]

Anyone going to rehost it for us Neowinites?

[phend-one]

Good work OP! Thanks to your keen sleuthing skills ;)

Has anyone installed this from a thumbdrive?

Why..?! :blink:

[FordGT]

I'm at 67% with DL speeds of 42.5KB/s!!! Darn it!

[Minifig]

Why..?! :blink:

Some of us are getting it really.. really slowly.

Use a regular download manager, and find the link to the ISO itself...then it'll go faster for you!

[Gary2MBz]

Expect the servers to be down again if it keeps up with these download errors. There's plenty of ways to get the RC 7100 build anyways besides MSFT. I won't mention sources at the risk of getting a warning.

11.6 MB/s here on my home broadband.

I'm finally pulling it in at 527.8 kb/s.

[GcDmStudent]

I'm running 155k. Says 6 hours.

Good night, it will be ready in the morning.

I'm finally pulling it in at 527.8 kb/s.

For now, it's going to drop again then go back up, then drop again....

[Nomad_]

I am getting 400kb/s to 800kb/s

[Minifig]

I am getting 400kb/s to 800kb/s

[FordGT]

Now it's back up to 500+. It varies a lot!
