Windows 7 beta - 9th January

I got a key for myself but I got 35 tabs running to get another for someone on here. I will give to someone who has been waiting the longest.

10 tabs and naff all

Downloading the Windows 7 ISO says 2.4Gb but finishes at 240Mb. :confused:

Is that right?

Nope but everyone is having problems with it halting the most I've got is 46%.

By my calcualtions of refresh rate/tabs/hours I'm approaching 50,000 refreshes with no key, a little paranoia that this is all a huge joke is setting in

15 tabs on C4C over 4 1/2 hrs now and nothing.

nearly 7½ hours of constant refreshing 12 tabs using the check4change system here and still no key

Is that the link people are using in conjunction with C4C?

I just want to make sure I'm not refreshing the wrong page.

I have no words to describe my shame at being in the same gene pool.

No wonder microsoft servers are down, they are being DDOS'd

How big was the x64 version when downloaded?

Nikolic · 10 Jan 2009 at 14:26

I think I'm just going to give up now for a while! Just burnt the ISO so I think I will install it and have a play around. As long as they get this key business sorted out in 30days I'll be happy

Wiggins · 10 Jan 2009 at 14:26

I'm leaving it on as long as it takes even if BT start to think i'm trying a DoS attack.

No problem! Use A[L]C's instructions in post 950 [Linky] thats how I got the key finally after trying in Explorer for a few hours.. only took me 5 minutes with FireFox! :eek:

What are people using to burn the iso? Ashampoo and Iso-burner both fail almost immediately after starting to write.
