Hello, I did download it and I would like to check the md5sum of it.

Anyone has it, I can’t find it anymore.

Thanks

Has any one had the problem of downloading the file and then having it disappear while still eating up as much space as it would as if it were still on the drive?

Serves me right for only clicking the download link doesn’t it

Not that it was that urgent – despite the latest Azureus giving me speeds 4x faster than crappy Bit Tornado used to it’s still peaked at 20KB/s, so obviously not that popular a torrent.

There will always be bugs...even after it is released. The main question is how serious are the bugs?

I assume you mean that you don't have a Beta 2 key? If that's the case then you can just wait until RC1 is released and they will issue new keys to everyone. Even those people who didn't download Beta 2.

I have a key, but I can’t even get the download. Whether using IE or FF I get some download manager thing which downloads a 967B corrupt ISO file. Now I know Microsoft are optimizing, but I am having serious doubts that this file is Vista.

Anyway, I’ve found [torrentspy.com] on TorrentSpy, so it’s downloading now. Can anyone give me a hash of the ISO downloaded from M$ so I can check this thing is the real deal?

Of course there will be bugs, but I hear even with the issues, this is their best OS ever.
