This is so frustrating, why didn't they just release a torrent of the ISO and lottery off the 2.5m Keys?

I'm trying to download the iso (i'll get the key later).

Is that download manager page supposed to keep refreshing or is it broken?

the download manager works independently of that page, u can close it once it starts

I've clicked all the links on this page, can't see this form you fill in to get a key?

My download is on 60%, flying.

The download Manager never appears, the web page just keeps refreshing every few seconds. I don't mind waiting but just want to know if it is supposed to be doing that or is the download manager supposed to appear straight away?

You'll see the page after selecting 32bit or 64bit on this page...

Thanks mate, half loading now.

I've got to say the releasing of this seems a bit shoddy, anyhow, still looking forward to trying it out

I've found that I have a problem with the Active X control for the download manager in IE8. IE7 works better, though you can also use Firefox, which uses a Java-based download manager.

well, assuming your using ie, you also need to install the activeX addon the page prompts you to download
