| 736204 | 2009-01-09 19:55:00 | Public beta is out in 5 minutes, if the link above is correct. | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 736205 | 2009-01-09 20:04:00 | It's already out (and has been in since 7am when I first checked) but the servers are jammed :( | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 736206 | 2009-01-09 20:07:00 | Really? www.microsoft.com says "Come back the afternoon of January 9." | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 736207 | 2009-01-09 20:10:00 | technet.microsoft.com Now rather than getting a Server is too busy message, I'm actually loading something - slowly. Promising? EDIT: Another too busy message. :( |

| 736208 | 2009-01-09 20:14:00 | Ahhh. Well, my "informative" message above wasn't so informative after all :p | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 736209 | 2009-01-09 20:15:00 | Typical MS - put a limited amount of downloads, and then their servers cant handle it. Wouldn't be at all surprised is by the time the traffic cools down the 2.5 million are gone - may just have to rearm the ones from 'other" sites.;) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 736210 | 2009-01-09 20:16:00 | Heh. I know that there is at least one torrent that has the same SHA-1 hash as the files on MSDN. Here are the checksums, straight from MSDN: File Name: en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x64_x15-29074.iso Date Posted (UTC): 12/30/2008 4:26:48 PM SHA1: E09FDBC1CB3A92CF6CC872040FDAF65553AB62A5 ISO/CRC: 8E2FAD39 File Name: en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x86_x15-29073.iso Date Posted (UTC): 12/22/2008 2:41:15 PM SHA1: 6071184282B2156FF61CDC5260545C078CCA31EE ISO/CRC: AABA5A48 |

| 736211 | 2009-01-09 20:18:00 | I'm trying on 3 different PCs :p, and so far, the one sitting next to me is looking promising again. ;) EDIT: I really should stop posting that. :( EDIT 2: I got a different error message this time - the connection was reset while the page was loading. EDIT 3: 404? What's with that? |
