underbite Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hope you'll enjoy wiping all those when the Beta expires. I'll have no problems I do this kind of thing on a daily basis.

Inctye Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hopefully this will be the last time I have to start the download. Tried downloading the x64 version three times already at 160kb/s, failing halfway each time. It only took one shot for me. If you are trying through the MS servers and it is failing, then try some of the mirrors mentioned earlier in this thread. Those should be more reliable. Also, switched to a wired connection if you have not already done so. Hope you'll enjoy wiping all those when the Beta expires. Keep in mind RC will probably come around April/May, yet alone RTM might be leaked by August if everything stays as smooth as it is now. With that said, most of us will not even have to worry about expiration to begin with.

Should I try a clean install? TIA The upgrade option is quite unreliable and sometimes does fail. I did not have the same problem as yours, but ended up getting an error message after the first restart. Just go ahead and do a clean install.

Xtreme2damax Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) lol, I don't think you realise how many keys 2.5 million is. I remember one of the Vista public betas was 'only' released to 100,000 people and iirc everyone who wanted it was able get hold of it. Yeah but I was afraid since it seemed like the demand was so huge that 2.5 million keys would be nothing. I figured there was plenty more than 2.5 million peeps who want to get their hands on Windows 7.. :p Is it still build 7000 like the unofficial leak was, someone I asked claimed it was and I wanted to see if it is true because some members here were stating that the official beta would likely be a different build than the unofficial leak..

bagpus Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 "I know many of you have had issues with the Windows 7 Beta site over the last 24 hours. As you may have noticed the download site has been up and running smoothly since this morning. That said, we apologize for the inconvenience that it caused some of you. Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience. We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit. Thank you for your enthusiasm, interest and willingness to beta test. It has been great to see the positive early reviews and feedback. As you know, this is a beta product. We are working hard to get Windows 7 ready and right. Your input is a critical part of that process. Thank you!" http://windowsteamblog.com/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/127/#findComment-590399916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
