It really doesn't matter which method you use right now, it'll probably not work... Lots of people (including myself) have struggled. That's because lots and lots of people are trying to get it at the same time. It might be best to wait a while if you can. Either that or you must have lots and lots of patience.

You're right Travis....either way is horrible right now. I may give up soon too if it weren't for already being at 75%. dotcom

I think I may have figured it out, I am downloading it right now with firefox. I tried with IE and it would only download 721 bytes of the ISO. when I tried to use the download manager it said to try again later. with firefox I just clicked on the direct link and away it goes, I'm at 1 % at a rate of 100KB/s.
hope this helps

Stuck in between - at 18 % ;-(

Don't get your hopes up, Iwk. I too tried my Firefox after IE failed and I'm only able to get 2,097,153 downloaded at which point it thinks it has finished. Twice now with same result. :(
Apparently MS needs more money for better servers.

That's the magical 2GB barrier I think you're hitting. Most DL managers I tried report that the ISO is exactly 2GB in size, which is of course wrong.
If you are having trouble with download managers - may i recommend Internet Download Manager?
Not an ad, just a VERY happy user who has downloaded 20 gigs of OS's in the past 2 weeks using it :P
Need a new hdd now :)

Why wasn't microsoft able to use P2P technology to distribute files?! Hash checking and distributed network traffic among downloaders.
I get to about 2.12 gigs and dies. I get a full iso file that when burns, craps out and says a fie is not a valid image....Anyone else having problems?

Yes. Many. The servers are jammed up for one thing. I suggest you order the dvd.

Don't use Microsoft's download manager, I failed twice. Use one of the free download mangers about.

Firefox is not a Download Manager. A Download Manager will permit you to resume the download if it is interrupted.

I used the Microsoft download manager. I started it Saturday June 10 at 10:55 PM, and went to bed. When I checked it Sunday morning I had a completed download. It finished at 3:50 AM, so it took a littile under 5 hours. It worked great the first time I tried it.
The first thing that made me think twice was the page that had the Product Key. Microsoft recommended printing the page, which I did, and the Product Key was not visible on the printed page. Fortunately I noticed this while I was still on the page, so I could write it by hand on the printed page.
The other thing is that I was supposed to get an email confirmation from Micosoft with download instructions and product key information. In fact the message said "was sent to your email" so it should have been sent out by Microsoft Saturday night. I havn't gotten it.
