Re: Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available
 
I'm actually using IE 7 on the main pc and IE 6 on the laptop both are fully updated. Ive had this problem on the main PC with IE 7 when just using that also with reget download manager, and also had this problem with getright download manager on my laptop. I cant really understand why its stopping at this amount?

It's been doing the same for me and countless other people, mine stops with Leechget at varying times, last one was around 300mb claiming the download was complete, no problems with any other downloads though.

That's correct.

Seems to be a limitation of something on your machines :S Or indeed the router or something like it ?

Well that makes me feel slightly better, but its just strange that mine stops at the same point each time? I did search on gogoel for the problem but couldnt find any results..?

I had wondered about the router can there be a limit on downloads for a router? or a single download?

EDIT: having quickly looked over the router settings i couldnt see anything that looked like it limited downloads?

I used wget -c to get mine and noticed it always zoomed along until about a gig had been transferred and the dropped to 80K or so. Reconnecting let it go fast again so did this 3 times and got it in just over an hour.

I don't think it's your router settings, I've downloaded more than 3.2gb as a single file using Leechget and it's worked perfectly, as I said, you're not alone there are loads of people complaining about the same thing.

Hmm now when i try to redownload it, it tells me the file size is 2048MB, before it used to tell me it was 3200MB? Seems to have gone totally wrong now then!

Yep, totally wrong there unfortunatly.

Soon, however when demand is gone you should be able to get it.

AS long as they dont take the download down, because arent they supposed to be limiting the beta?

I'm tempted to just get the DVD, save a lot of time and effort, just the small cost of it..

I managed to download it the morning it came out successfully on my laptop which has its hard drive formatted in FAT32 (the download was very slow though at 100-200k on my 10meg line)

Upto 31% after only one day (started downloading yesterday).

Should be ready to test by about Tuesday, or Monday if I'm lucky.

What connection do you have? That seems awfully slow :(

The 64bit one still seems to be 14 MB - any ideas?
