I just tried three times to download the Windows 7 .ISO beta through the
Download Manager. I only succeeded once and when I finally got it down it
seemed there was a corrupt image. Does anybody have a clean link to the
image? I'm anxious to try it out in my VirtualBox .

Thanks.

May be better to wait a couple of days. I believe the release candidate will
be out then.

Which one?
The original beta (build 7000) is no longer available.
The RC release is only available to Technet and MSDN subscribers now. It
will be available to the public on Tuesday May 5. Build 7100 (RC) is
available via torrents, if you get the correct one.

Turn OFF your Anti Virus and all Security programs except for your Windows Firewall
when downloading the ISO file

Either that or use Ubuntu to download it and burn it. [url]www.ubuntu.com[/url]

I had to make several tries. MS servers are flaky. Sometimes there is
corruption. Sometimes they get tired and stop. You have to start all
over because the file changed or you can't save it when it's done.
Never have trouble with Linux .iso's.

Be certain that the download has actually finished when using the FTM. It
should be identified as completed.

When the file is at 100% it is not necessarily completed. The file is then
verified, which takes a few extra minutes. If you close the FTM too early
and try to burn the .iso file to a disk you may have problems as the
verification was not completed.

Well, I believe I was getting the original beta! It just my luck that is no
longer available! Sigh. That seems to be the story of my life. :-)

I take it that this is the Microsoft download manager? I downloaded Windows
7 RC on the 30 April and didn't have any problem. Unless you have an error
message you wouldn't know whether the ISO file was corrupt until you
physically burnt it to media. One thing that usually happens is that the ISO
is burnt too rapidly and this can cause problems. See if you can change the
burn setting of your CD/DVD burn software to X2 and see if that makes any
difference.

Ross where are you downloading it from? If it is a 'torrent' site then that
is probably why you are having problems, no one knows what 'add nuisances'
torrent sites add to the original ISO. The torrent downloads are leaked
illegal copies anyway and we do not offer support for such leaked copies.

Snipped from an eMail from MS.

On April 30th, the RC became available to MSDN subscribers and
TechNet Plus subscribers.
- On Tuesday, May 5 (PST), the RC will be available to
everyone via our Customer Preview Program. As with the Beta, the
Windows 7 RC Customer Preview Program is a broad public program that
offers the RC free to anyone who wants to download it. It will be
available at least through June 30, 2009, with no limits on the
number of downloads or product keys available.


So you don't need rush to make sure you get your copy. When you're
ready to download the RC, it'll be waiting for you.


To get the RC please use one of the following links:
- Developers
- IT Pros/Microsoft Partners
- Tech Enthusiasts/Consumers

Nobody needs that piece of crap Ubuntu. Remember Ubuntu is FREE and NOBODY
wants it. Ubuntu is on less than one percent of the desktops out there.
People would rather pay for Microsoft products than use a FREE INFERIOR OS
called Ubuntu.

Another lie.

As far as burning is concerned, Ubuntu is FAR superior to Windows and
Nero. It's quicker and much more efficient in regards to burning speed.
Course, how would you know when all you can do is flail around with your
FUD and lies?
