How was the error our fault? The error occurred at least 5 times yesterday, even after an update and several reboots. For some reason today it decided to magically work.

I can understand that. I have the odd quirk with Windows Update on 7000 where it'll throw off an error for no reason and it eventually fixes itself automagically.

Well, I'm stuck at 77.9% at a whooping 5k/sec most of the time. Seeds(11) Peers(5429) !!! Sometime, it goes down to 0.6k/sec. Terribly slow...!

Yeah, I've been downloading for about 15 hours now, and never been connected to a seed. I'm up to 78.3 now, and figure it should be done by midnight.

Woohoo 200K down, this should last for about 5 seconds lol

Right now, it is not getting any faster than it already is. So I have been just turning on utorrent every hour or so to catch up to the top and then turn it back off when the speeds drop off. It is just pointless to be seeding to all the people that just started the torrent and still at 20% when none of us even have a full copy of it.

I say another three hours before people start hitting 100%

I'm at 78.6% and my eta is 4hrs and it's currently 4:36pm where I am. I should have it by 8 tonight so I bet you'll have it long before midnight your time.

its not useless,,,its the CAUSE

Maybe "useless" wasn't the right word. But, I just don't want to be uploading endlessly when downloading at near zero speeds. I always do my part in seeding with the upload ratio at 1.5 right now. Most people don't even both doing that in the first place.

I am not an expert at torrents, but I have for years messed with them. For those that don't understand why this is taking so long, and why it shows seeders but none are active, here is a small explanation.

The torrent could show, let's say 0 (12) seeders but your percentage downloaded keeps increasing slowly. This means that 12 have completed 100% but you are NOT connected directly to them. However thousands in the swarm could be connected to the completed connections. You are feeding off those connections. Thus, you are still downloading. Think about it, a few seeders could not service 5000 torrent users alone. Hope this helps.

It also could be because the torrent was released 18 hrs ago and that it's almost 3.5GB :)

when will we see 32-bit?

Soldatbigviv ... This is my torrent. Get the hell out. YOU ARE FAKE and so is your build. I will delete this whole thing if you don't go away.

Everyone else ... someone ban him, whoever has that authority.

And I will get to x86 when I have it, so there is no timeframe, just hold tight.

Torrents are like socialism. If everyone helps out things go fast. If people act like douchebags and just leech things don't do so well. Its not about the number of seeders that will determine how fast you get the download, its the number of connected peers you have. I can see only one seeder but my peers are giving me about 400kb/s download (I haven't even downloaded a byte from the seeder).

I don't think they will. This beta refresh was only for TAP customers since they were all complaining about the lack of builds to test.

We got ours through TAP, both x64 and 32-bit varieties. From what I've heard a select group of early beta testers on connect also received build 7048. Eventually someone will upload the 32-bit version to a torrent site, unfortunately we will not be doing so because it violates our TAP terms of service.

And for those thinking that 7048 was RC1... Myth Busted.

Really going out on a limb here today, aren't you Digital Meld? Already posted at least 5 articles on 7048 over the past few hours.
