zach_ Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Its 3 gig, not 2.36 .. o_Ox64 is 3.04GB, x86 is 2.36.I am downloading now, speeds are going from line speed 480kB/s down to <10kB/s. I won't be happy if I end up wasting 30% of my month's usage on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callummr Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Very steady 1.8MB/s here :) I have the uh, slightly less legit version, but that doesn't seem to actually mention RC. This... might. I know it's the same build, but hey, feels good to be legit :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Canadian Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Just think what's going to happen to the server when everyone else realises that the download for Win7 x86/x64 RC is available for download.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeemed Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Nice find :D I won't be downloading this (don't have enough RAM for a VM, don't want to do a partition/format, and don't have a spare machine, not to mention I'm cutting it fine with my monthly d/l quota :p), but I'll keep an eye on this thread and relevant proceedings (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad_ Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 x64 is 3.04GB, x86 is 2.36. I downloaded the x86 version. Download all done, now to burn the ISO. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordGT Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 He might have a point. I suspect even more people will want the RC. Microsoft's servers aren't near any nuclear plants or petroleum refineries are they? All that heat! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS never learns anything, except how to steal technology and say it's their own invention. Actually, x64 is 3.05GB.... Well, the burned ISO for x64 is about 3.2GB; it took 3:55 to burn it to a DVD on my system.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordGT Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I know! I remember how difficult it was just to get a key or the first few hours. Refresh after refresh until I finally got one. I guess the scale is just so large perhaps no amount of servers could supply everyone who wanted a copy. 5 minutes remaining until mine is finished DL'ing!

You need to thank the 420 otherwise I wouldn't have been sitting around watching Ninja Warrior test .aspx's at Microsoft.com Lucky break I found this tonight, I'd looked a few times before and missed it.
