Thanks!

Downloading now, at 60% but after an initial 1mbp/s it now jumped back to 400-500kb/s

Language packs are also up for download.

Will MSDNAA people be receiving a copy of 7?

^ august 14th apparently.

Er sorry - just reread the entire thread and noticed it was already posted. My mistake.

Now to wait for a leak so I can reinstall this thing.

Why wait...the hash values are exactly as per the ZUKO leak....if you have that just edit the ei.cfg to install the version you need.

Apparently some people think that hashes are not a valid way of proving legtimacy...
