bluewind. Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I tried downloading the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 from Microsoft's official site. I'm using Firefox, and the download got stuck at 94%. I searched Google, and found one site where someone else was complaining about the 64-bit version getting stopping above 90%. Is this true, and is there any solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanVP Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've had no problems d/ling the 64 bit version....try it again. Must be your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewind. Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Could it be a Firefox issue? The connection seems to be fine/stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true, and is there any solution? How long has it been stuck at 94% for and how long have you been downloading it? I've seen a few similar issues with the DL getting stuck where you are but no real solutions other than starting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few similar issues with the DL getting stuck where you are but no real solutions other than starting over. The download started at about 1 MB/sec and stayed roughly that the entire time. When it "got stuck" it said it was still downloading at about 2 MB/sec with a few minutes remaining but I waited fifteen minutes with no progress beyond 94%. I'm trying with IE8 right now.

HansDZ Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I had no problem D/L Win7 64-bit via Firefox. Maybe a glitch in a server or with your internet provider. You should be able to restart the D/L with firefox. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
