crazlunatic Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 wow this is pretty lame, I wonder how many cumulative hours were wasted today refreshing and looking around for download links Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/80/#findComment-590392830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratch42069 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 On the technet site it says: Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we?re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We?re sorry for the delay and we?ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience. So I imagine we just have to wait it out a bit, and fill out the form there.

dlkreations Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx All I did was keep pressing F5 after it loads the error page. Make sure you're logged in though with your User ID. I use my hotmail one.

jmc777 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I also activated a 32bit installation with a 64bit key so they are transferable. Good luck ;) Thanks for that info! :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/80/#findComment-590392840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomZ Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Ok here's the deal: Earlier today before 12pm PST the technet site went live ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx ) It got hammered but some people managed to fill in a form, and "register" for a key. If you didn't get that far then you can't get a key until MS bring the servers back up. IF you did get that far, then you can repeatadly hammer these two url's to try and get your key (must be logged in with passport): https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx If your getting the windows 7 site then your wasting you time.

9UnknownMen Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I just did the 64 and 32bit URL's again for the heck of it to see if they'll be different and they aren't. The keys are the same and I guess are linked to your passport account. To get another key, you have to register whenever they re-open under another live account.

10000 Days Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Worked like a charm!!! Thanks! :laugh: I've been following this thread for awhile now.To get your key (from what others are reporting) Goto (for 64 bit): https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx Goto (for 32 bit) https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx When it redirects, simply re-paste into your browser the address and keep hammering at it until it works. Once again, its posted at udtechie.blogspot.com I have yet to get this to work.

joejiggs Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I received the registration email and I'm logged in correctly but everytime I click the link it takes me to the windows 7 page, do I just keep putting in the address and try again or will it not work?
