Yes there's the option of buying the DVD, I just wonder how long it would take for that to arrive in the post !!!
All in all, I think it's a pretty poor show from MS...
I'll just keep an eye out in other places for the download, after all it's free and I'm sure some other company will host it. If anyone finds a reliable source let me know please...

I managed to get the download from the link on the right of the download page.
Made it in one download, as speed was excellent. Burnt it to disc, twice as Nero found an error when checking first burn, and then got ready to install.
Moved all files off the drive I wanted to use and then set it to master and formatted it.
Have given up after 9 attempts with always the same error - Error Code 80070241. Have done a Google and checked the Vista forums and seems for some of the downloads the ISO is no good and gives this error.
Have given up with it for now, especially as I am using a Vista lookalike on my XP.
May try in a few days again but is too time consuming for something that will not install.
