Download complete. I used simultaneous connections (Flashget download manager default) which I thought might corrupt it but the MD5 checksums (checked with Md5Check v2.1) matched; 8867C13330F56A93944BCD46DCD73590 for x86.

Funny how thousands are still trying to pull the leaked version when they could get it straight from MS servers at faster speeds (for now) without uploading.

Anyone who has installed it.. did it give you the option to upgrade your previous install?

No but you can mod an ini file that allows you to do so. I myself can't justify why anyone would upgrade a beta OS and spend time fixing those issues rather than fresh installing. Vista to 7 RTM is understandable but still upgrade installs are usually slower than clean ones and they get into problems.

I'll probably install it sometime today, if I can figure out how to partition a HDD, otherwise I'll finish playing Scrapland on my XP partition and format it and install it there.

Servers went down again, and I had 37 minutes left to go. :(

I do because I want to keep everything I've got installed already installed :(

Don't Panic! Keep trying it will come back up. I just finished mine and I started downloading 30 minutes before anyone else did.

Thanks to Bresnan for a really poor connect! thanks to microsoft, don't be mad we started early without you.

If you're upgrading from 7000 to 7100, take a look at THIS POST as it outlines the procedure, and all the bugs (or lack of them) experienced.

BTW thanks to neowin and the OP for an incredible Win7 experience... this was the icing on the cake :)

It is just a means of security from my point of view, you never know what can go wrong. I remember upgrading from XP SP2 to Vista beta 5219 only to have my DVD Burner give me Code 11's constantly in Device Manager no matter how many times I reboot, reinstall, uninstall, etc. A clean install fixed it. All else worked fine

Wow.. I'm burning this as slow as possible.. 4x speed and it's taking less than 10 minutes. o_O!

Wow.. thanks. I guess I'll do a fresh install. :)
