You may want to look at the thread I came across while browsing MS Technet about that. "I lost my Windows 7 download"
The MS MVP there seems to have a different answer to the question of how to download 7 at this time. However I was finally able to locate the Home Premium version of the 7000 build.
I simply have to add another drive in the case to dual boot both 32bit and 64bit there.

Well whatever, what i said pages back was and still is correct, i didn't want a debate was just pointing out how to still get the beta as the guy who made the post wanted it.
Im not in terested in any of those downloads im running a later build now i was just being helpfull.
I don't understand why your linking to that article when i clearly have proved you can still download it just like i said hours ago. lol
Nothing more to discuss.
If you had posted this showing the actual section at connect rather the download manager earlier you would have also noticed there was no mention of the Home Premium builds available as well on the download page.
That would have been a little more helpful for the OP in locating the correct section.
There's a link do the download pages at the bottom of the article, though the microsoft links are offline the mirrors are online.
Windows 7 public beta Official download links - KezNews.com
Edit: looks like the torrent is all that's still online
The public beta servers are shutdown. The only place now as finally discovered by poking around a bit more is part of the connect for those already signed up for testing.
If you decide to download from some other torrent site for a leak you are pretty much on your own there. By going through MS you don't run into any headaches as well as see support.
God!! I have been telling you over and over you just needed the invite code for connect, i also told you its posted here.If you had posted this showing the actual section at connect rather the download manager earlier you would have also noticed there was no mention of the Home Premium builds available as well on the download page.
That would have been a little more helpful for the OP in locating the correct section.
How posting a screen shot of that page would of helped you more than me telling you to get the invite code is beyond me, i posted a shot to show you what downloads were available and the actual download page was behind the download manager.
It would of been more helpful if you just read my post properly and searched for the topic here as suggested which clearly tells you step by step how to download the beta from connect, instead of making me repeat myself over and over and over FFS.
It has been known and talked about for a long time!The public beta servers are shutdown. The only place now as finally discovered by poking around a bit more is part of the connect for those already signed up for testing.
Now kindly stop flamming me its getting boring and irritating.
Good Grief! No one is trying to flame anyone here.
And there is no particular invitation code once you are already logged in there to begin with that being your invitation ID. Plus most who signed up for testing the 7000 build would be unaware of that section to begin with. They are still going to be looking at the other pages.
Well i would call it flamming! You are arguing every point i make and often going right off topic, i should not of even had to expalin this any further than the first post i made saying about the invite code/ecosystem/connect/fact there is a topic clearly explaining it here..
And the fact your still going on about it days later.
And yes most people are un-aware of it, which is why i explained about it!
And if they "signed up for the beta testing" they would not ve looking for it now because they would already have it! And anyone who read my post will just search the invite code instead of arguing the fact with me for days! They will not ve looking round random pages if you follow what i said in the first place!
This was posted on multiple sites in december:
