[DaveTaylor]

i was at like 76% on the download manager :(

[Hitman]

I'm currently on 10% on IE... they'll probably remove it soon. :(

Bad news chaps:


Microsoft Corp. postponed the roll-out of the Windows 7 beta today, citing "very heavy traffic" on its Web site.

The company did not offer a new schedule for delivering the beta of its newest operating system.

"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 Microsoft.com properties before we post the public Beta today," a spokeswoman said in an instant message reply to earlier questions about the Microsoft.com's performance. "We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the Beta."

On Wednesday, CEO Steve Ballmer promised that the beta would be released to the general public today. Later, a company spokeswoman said that Microsoft would post the beta today at noon PST.

Early Friday, however, several Microsoft domains, including the main page and the designated download site, were overwhelmed by users eager to grab the beta. Although those URLs were later revived, attempts by Computerworld and others to download Windows 7 from a TechNet page aimed at IT professionals have been stymied for several hours.

Users who have tried to download the beta have been greeted with messages such as "Server is too busy" and "This site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day."

The Microsoft spokeswoman did not know when users could expect to download the beta. "No ETA at this point," she said via a follow-up instant message.

Although Microsoft has said it would cap the number of Windows 7 beta activation keys at 2.5 million -- perhaps one of the reasons users felt a sense of urgency today about getting the download -- it is not expected to yank the download after that mark is reached. Users unable to obtain an activation key in the initial rush will still be able to download and install the beta, then run it under the operating system's 30-day trial.

By using the same "slmgr -rearm" command that gained notoriety after Windows Vista's debut, users can extend that trial period to a total of 120 days.

No keys for now :(

[edgates]

It's gonna end up being released at like 3am, and people in the UK won't get it at all. :@

[Stephen!]

For anybody using Beta 1 - Are you able to use windows update? Mine keeps failing

[irJen]

Thanks Jamesy, wondered why we couldn't download...

Yummy sauce.

[Jamesy]

doesn't work if you didnt try the link about 3/4 hours ago due to the cookie id change :P

[Jamesy]

oh touché mr smarty.

Got any download link tricks up your seemingly endless sleeve?

[DaveTaylor]

Well from what I can see they are uploading it again, the download.windows one still works but it sticks at about 32kb/s so it's not worth it, give it say, another 2 hours? ye ye I know I am GMT aswell.

[Jamesy]

I'll just do it in the morning. I tried remote desktopping to my computer from the laptop and it bugged out and left downstairs with a black screen. Maybe it's still downloading in the background. Noooo idea...

Well they aren't very good with server upgrades as we can see it's like mobileme all over again (accept the whole different company?)

[Firehorse]

If you get a key from them then does that mean when they release the final version that you will be able to update without paying for it? And also I want to signup to the partner program but I have to be an organisation to do so :@

Tell me if i'm missing something... Also can I get my own key? I don't want only the trial and I don't want to illegally crack it either.

[Firehorse]

sry for double - can't edit

Servers are back up again! My download just jumped from 35% to 48%

btw i found a way of picking up keys without needing all that partner stuff. I'll post if it works for me. Hopefully i'll get one before they all run out!

[blanky12!]

I'm on Windows 7 now! It installed within 10min!

[timROGERS]

I have my key now, no hope at all with the download. None of the MS links are working anymore and the torrents are all preety slow.

[Tomm]

Its not hard to get a key if you know how to use teh internets :P

[Jamesy]

Downloading full speed again. I love opera's restart option :D

[edgates]

YES! Got myself a key haha, I used the check4change addon, which is really handy :) There's plenty of discussion about it on the interwebs.

[blanky12!]

[Calon]

Akamai sucks, they host myspace, yet Microsoft are using their download engine.. lol!

[timROGERS]

I have two keys now, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit, although they both work on both. Each key has 10 activations. Now I'm just trying to download it at a slow 50kB/s.

[Stephen!]

Whenever I go to the product key link it just directs me to this page

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

And there is no place to sign in..

[Stephen!]

pleaaaaaase

[Tomm]

Been running C4C for the past hour. Still no key. Now "m.webtrends.com" is screwing with the reload as it can't connect to it for some reason.

[Jamesy]

I think people have woken up. Download speed dropped majorly

[edgates]

This is the furthest I've got so far, download hasn't stopped yet (touchwood!) using Orbit download manager.

[:job2]

Where are you downloading from?

I cant seem to find it on MDSN or windows 7 page that works

[DaveTaylor]

I am working on another work around with a few folk to get keys again the page is still there just not accessible, need to edit the cookie files again.

[Moh]

[:job2]

If I download the same version from another place then just use the key (when i get one) will that work?

[Jamesy]

yes it will.

[Firehorse]

its been stuck on 48% since 3am :@ Microsoft should have seen this coming!
I have my serials i just need the damned software and all the torrents etc will be extremely slow.

Not that there's many people on the internet who would be trying to download it :rolleyes:

[Jamesy]

Burning to disc :D:D:D:D

[Firehorse]

what link did you download from? mine hasn't budged still..

[timROGERS]

Why is it that the direct downloads stop and start? Mine was dead for 5 hours and it has suddenly restarted at 111KB/s.

[Jamesy]

High server loads.

Oh to install nvidia drivers do it through windows update. :)

[Rapidshare]

Okay, still confused about how to get a key

Or have i just missed it and it already been given out?

[Hitman]

Downloading now... crap speeds... 208KB/s...

[Jahova]

Downloading now and then moving it onto a new partition.

[Firehorse]

As soon as the clock hit midnight my download leaped to 600kbps and was done in 10 mins. I really like windows 7, however there are some things that still don't work with it such as rivatuner. The send feedback link was getting a bit pesky when I moved a window so i got rid of it. Tried many things to remove the watermark but no patches worked :( kept saying I need to run it as administrator even though I WAS doing :(

Any recommended patches which don't have viruses etc?

[Lubricant]

Downloading at 90KB/s :-(. Might have to see if someone has uploaded to Rapidshare or Megaupload

[Jahova]

How much space do you guys recommend I leave for 7?
I have a 40GB max for it.
Thanks :)

[Rapidshare]

70-80 i would say tbh

[Jahova]

70-80 i would say tbh
Oh god. Someone else said 20GB, I'll just do the whole 40.

[Decode]

It said 16GB minimum on the Microsoft website I think.

[Moh]

Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.

3 hours of getting a key, 10 hours of downloading and it wont install :@ :@ :@
