Snowl Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 General network error. Check your network documentation You get this error every time it doesnt show up with a product key <---- Even If it doesnt show up, its hidden but its in the source. If you dont get that error in the source, then you have a product key (because it has succesfully gotten the key and displayed it.)

Josh7289 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 What time is it to go to bed at Michael Jackson's house?When the big hand is on the little hand. J/K'ing! Yeah I know you are. :p I just don't like having that kind of stuff written down in text (on forums or wherever people can read it). It's so "final", you know? BUT ANYWAY! My ISO download seems to be doing well so far. 5% done. :p I'm downloading it from the secret official MS link...

Bioran Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 After cloning tabs and refreshing for over 2 hours, I'm on the brink of giving up.

funktron Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So the dude who used that to get his was just lying? It seems that this is exactly what we'd want, no? And I'm still getting the "error" page. I get the one you get, Cerebrix, every now and again - but not always. That's been intermittent for me the entire time I've been doing this for almost three hours.

Lord Ba'al Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I finally got my key! :laugh: I already downloaded the x64 version a few hours earlier with no problems and good speed. Then I wanted to get a key, and the trouble started. First I only got "Server is busy", then they took the page down and I only got "Coming soon" :blink: I still waited for some time, but as it didn't change, I decided to come back here later. When I came back here shortly ago, I found the instructions linked on the front page and tried them out. Opened TechNet (US site, even if I don't live there - I thought it might be important), signed in, pasted the url into the same tab... and got "Try again the next bussiness day." :pinch: I then pasted the url into the same tab again to re-load the page (rather than hitting F5), still the same - but after I repeated that three times, I already got the page with my key :woot: All that using Firefox 3, not IE. So I can confirm that it does work :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/97/#findComment-590394474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ba'al Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Try "ReloadEvery" for firefox.. ;) No need for that, as it worked already after reloading three times - very nice, I thought it would take longer.
