		<description>Well, pass it it along....lol

Did the page finally refresh?

Which is the correct way of using Check4Change?
Should I be highlighting the entire line like this:
We did not find any results for betaexp LCID 1033

or this:
betaexp LCID 1033

I&#039;m stuck on the Live Search:
http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=betaexp+LCID+1033&amp;go=&amp;form=QBNO

So far, my download is at 1/3 of the way completed in Firefox. Best luck I&#039;ve had yet!</description>

		<description>Thanks Ashraf...You&#039;re amazing!!!!

I visit slickdeals.net from time to time. Never thought they&#039;re have that information.

However, the download link provided is the same as the one I tried earlier and it failed again.

I then took all the steps regarding Firefox and it originally popped up a page with information on it, then went to the We did not find any results for betaexp LCID 1033. I&#039;ve sent Change4Change and it&#039;s been about an hour now.

I guess I&#039;ll need to get a book, but that&#039;s not going to help with the downloading of the file itself issue.

I tried this site also:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/10/hack-to-get-windows-7-beta-product-key-instantly/

No luck

Also, which version do you suggest I
download...32 or 64?

How&#039;s your download going?</description>

		<description>I hear that!!!

Ya know, I gotta say, this delay from Microsoft is ridiculous.

Regarding their statement on their webite....
&quot;The volume has been phenomenal&quot;

They didn&#039;t expect this, OH come on

further:
&quot;as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience&quot;

What?

To me, it sounds like the words from a 5-year old child.

There&#039;s probably 2 billion people going on no sleep around the world since they don&#039;t have enough servers?

Also, some people have to work.

It&#039;s like saying sorry Jim, you missed it...tough luck.

And by the way, my sister called and said it completed. I had her check the file size and it was only 137MB.

I just now refreshed the page and it&#039;s still not available.</description>

		<description>You got 200KB? I was getting 50KB &gt;.&gt;&#039;.

My torrent download failed...&quot;Error: File Element  not Found&quot;.

And you are right about the torrent issues. But I am desperate right now!</description>

		<description>The direct link download failed again, so I asked my sister to download it because she gets a consistent 800KB download speed, where I only get 200KB.

While looking for another torrent site, I came across this:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Whatever-You-Do-Do-Not-Download-Windows-7-Via-Torrent-Sites-77471.shtml

OK, OK, I know all about the piracy issue, and I gave that up a long time ago, but for me, and you I&#039;m assuming, it&#039;s a chance of a lifetime to get your hands on this one.

They&#039;re basically saying that the torrent sites do not have the correct build and that by using torrents, you could be infected with malicious code and could be fake 0 bytes ISO images.

Just thought you&#039;d like to know.</description>

		<description>Great, Thanks for the link and info!!

Actually I just downloaded and installed uTorrent earlier today. I fired it up, but it just states &quot;Availability is 0.000&quot; and but now it keeps toggling back and forth from 0.000 to 7.23

On the status bar it states DHT: Waiting to login.

I had to change my Firewall rules and grant it full access before I could even use it.

I guess I just have to wait my turn.</description>

		<description>Okay after you said that you got the link to work, I loaded it in FireFox instead of Chrome and the download started. It is REALLY slow though. You may want to consider using &lt;a href=http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/4602971/Microsoft.Windows.7.Beta.1.Build.7000.x86.DVD-GENUiNE.iMAGE.4602971.TPB.torrent&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; torrent to get it.</description>

		<description>Jim,

I found that link and the one for 32 bit on a few sites. However, the link is supposed to be down and it is not working for me.

Also, if you download it, you will be able to install and run Windows 7 for it&#039;s 30 day trial while you wait to acquire a product key. You can extend it to 120 days: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&amp;articleId=9125626&amp;intsrc=hm_ts_head&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; for more info.</description>

		<description>Hi Ashraf

Thought you were sleeping.

Yes, when I positioned my cursor over one of the links, it stated you need a Live ID. I don&#039;t know what you&#039;ll need to do first...start the download and then hit the Keys button, or if you click the Keys button first.

If your interested, a found a direct link from Microsoft and I&#039;m downloading it now. However, I noticed it stated Ultimate and I&#039;m not sure whether they&#039;re giving the Ultimate version or if it&#039;s Basic, Standard, or Premium as in Vista. It&#039;s actually downloading from downloads\microsoft.com

Well, forget that, it was supposed to be 2.43 GB and the download finished early and was only 384 MB in size.

If anybody would like to try, here&#039;s the download link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso

Anyway you&#039;ll still have to be awake to get the registration key if it does work.</description>

		<description>Jim,
Man I been out for the past couple of hours worrying my head off that I would miss out on Windows 7 and I come home to find out that they delayed the release, for good, bad or ugly.

Also thx for the links. And are you 100% sure about needing a Windows Live account to get Windows 7 Beta? I am pretty sure you are correct, because I assumed that also, but I just want to make sure. As far as I know you will be able to download Windows 7 Beta but you will need a Windows Live account to attain the product key. Can anyone confirm?</description>

		<description>Just noticed this on the homepage:

Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal—we&#039;re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We&#039;re sorry for the delay and we&#039;ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.</description>
