I was going to just send away for the DVD, but they want £10 for it, bloody cheek.

Re: Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available

Woo, it's going.

http://download.windowsvista.com/dl/...FRE_EN_DVD.iso

This is how:
- Add the link above to the Address bar in firefox
- File menu, save as
- Adds it to the Download queue... in Firefox's own Manager - which of course shows the UA of a browser not something like DAP, GetRight etc.

Gettin 100 kB/s on 1 Mb/s connection which is about as good as it usually gets!
