How to Get Your Windows 7 Beta 1 on Friday

Abhimanyu said:

Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I’ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!

yeah they are being flooded! Stop hitting that damn F5 or we'll crash the whole Microsoft!

thay should just open it up and let everyone get a key and be done with it.

D/L slowed to a crawl now - too many people on that link.

I'm pulling 1.5MB/sec on the download, so it's still going strong for me. 85%, yay!

Hey all,

None of the links posted are working now; they just redirect to the windows site. The technet has changed to now just saying "Windows Beta coming soon" and a link to the windows 7 site which still says its due this afternoon.

Could you possible post the url's you are currently using to get the iso?

Cheers from a very frustrated person,

/agree

using 32 connections per each of the 2 linsk to leech all the possible band! Downloading at a total of 2mb/sec!
