    Still going for me, now at 778k down. Maybe I robbed your bandwidth! ;)

    The link above says:
    Due to very heavy traffic we’re seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I’ll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!

    Comments like this are surprising to me in that it's a beta release by Microsoft of their most anticipated product in the biggest product line they have. How did anyone expect their servers to run? And why are forums all over the world screaming and moaning about bugs? It's a beta...

    I say this as someone who isn't a microsoft fan. I type this on Mac OSX Leopard... but it's still odd to see such complaints.

    Well MS knew this too and should have beefed up their servers for it. I think it is an exercise in generating hype.

    I'm downloading it with a download manager and it crapped out at 181MBs. Resumed itself a few minutes afterwards. I haven't gotten a key either.

    32Bit

    https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-32/enus/default.aspx

    You have to login at TechNet first though I think, I was already logged in and got a 64Bit key I registered earlier for today.

    Were you getting that and kept trying until you got the correct page?

    No I got the key first time, I had earlier registered through TechNet for it and was signed into my Live account before I clicked the link.

    You don't need a key to install as it has a 30-day trial option. But Villain's link works fine if needed...

    Translation: Oops, perhaps announcing a 2.5 million user limit wasn't such a good idea, since it made everyone try to download all at once.
