I hypothetically torrented the W7 beta a couple weeks back and the activation code I got from MS works to activate it without redownloading it. Nice.

I finally used Firefox 3.0 and it downloaded with no problem.

I had this problem.
What you can do is, view the source of the page (IE: View -> Source; FireFox: View -> Page Source), and search for the download location there.
If you search for “.iso”, you will find the location (starts with ‘http’ and ends with ‘.iso’).
Hope this helps.

I have IE7, Sliverlight 2 installed and have a .msn email account and on broadband. I can get the product key with no problem but after I click the download button, a page comes up with “Please wait while the Download Manager begins your download.” but nothing is happening. I’ve had this page open for several hours…no change. Anyone else having this problem?

Why are you downloading both 32bit and 64bit versions? Making a collection or something? :D
I downloaded only 64bit and I think it will be enough… for now :)
