The Canadian Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My download topped out at about 1.70MB per second, but is usually around 600KB - 750KB per second. However, it seems to drop down to mid double digits a lot...but then picks right back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael S Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 It looks like it's back up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx Both back up again...just "temporarily unavailable"...

Minifig Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I too, am pulling this in, but I need some tips.. and I figure this is the place to do it.

It's easy. Put in a blank DVD and fire up Nero/Roxio or whatever software you use and fire it up. Real simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Canadian Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 1.7MB!!!! :o Now that's obscene. I wish I had that bandwidth, though! :p 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.

It's pretty easy. Launch your burning app, select Burn Image (or something like that depending on your app), point it to the folder where you have the ISO at, and burn it.

Calum Veteran Posted May 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2009 Has anyone ever mounted a Windows 7 ISO to a virtual drive? I don't have any disks and I mounted the beta to a virtual drive and it seemed to work perfectly. I'd like to know others' experience in this area please as I am hoping to do this again with the release candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was running the pre-RC version in VirtualBox, however I found it ran slow...I think because VirtualBox doesn't have a native x64 client but a combo x86/64 client that runs installs in the Program Files (x86) directory on Vista x64. Well lucky you. I'm green with envy! :x :x I am waiting for Rogers to roll out DOCSIS 3.0, it's being tested right now...however I am not one of the lucky ones getting to test it.

Unclean009 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Got a total of 15 RC 64-bit keys from refreshing the page. Way more than the 5 available from the beta. This is exact same build from the leak, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried to double-click an ISO file in Windows 7 Beta? You can of course figure it out. Burning an ISO image is a function provided by 7 Beta.
