I've been trying to download the 32bit edition for several days...
At first I tried using the MS download manager (in both IE7 and Firefox) but that never even connected to the remote file. Then I tried the direct ISO, in Firefox, which got to ~1.99GB before saying it was "completed". Upon examining the ISO, it had the text file which has previously been mentioned, but nothing else...
Now I've tried several times using FlashGet, which is at least seeing the correct total size (3,276,952KB) . The official MS ISO location stopped after 60% yesterday, and when I forced it to resume continually said "Error Occured!" after "Content-Range: Bytes *****" in the transfer window. Eventually it started recieving again, this morning, but stopped at 64% (2097508KB) and has not gone any further.
I've also tried the mirror at betanews which was mentioned in this thread - again, it got to 60% before stopping, and after a number of reconnection attempts started again, once more getting to 64% (this time a different size - 2098155KB) before stopping and being unable to reconnect with "Error Occured!".
All my disks are NTFS formatted... and this is driving me mad
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be?
I'm on an 120 cable modem, through an Asus router using a wired connection, not the wireless ability, and I've downloaded larger things before - albeit not recently...
