Hi I don't know if this thread will get deleted but can anyone point me to a good win7 RC torrent that is not infected with stuff, I just spent an hour on their site getting nowhere with all the freezing and stuff.

It looks like they're using some java thing to serve the downloads. I wouldn't get it from a torrent, then I again I wouldn't want to get it anywhere, but unfortunately I did.

Download it from a torrent and check the MD5 hash (you can probably get one on this forum from somebody) to see if it's been tampered with.

It's ahhh... not MS's fault if a torrent is bad.

I think he's saying the official download site sucks :D

Which is true. It took me about half an hour to get to the download (would've been longer if a buddy wouldn't have advised me to just wait a lot longer for the download page to load)

Doesn't make the download process suck any less for those downloading at a more unfortunate time.

The download provided by Microsoft worked pretty well and fast for me. No complaints.

yes, because that never happens for ubuntu releases, does it.

You can use the direct links in this post to bypass the download manager. Remember to copy and past the links in a new window/tab, if you simply click them you'll be redirected to the download manager.

I'm not holding it against MS. Just sympathizing with other people who have run into problems with the download from the Microsoft site :)
