Where to safely DL Windows 7?

[spiral529]

I am late to the party and microsoft is no longer offering downloads of Windows 7 via their website. However, you can still get a key.

Where is a reliable place to find a Windows7 x64 torrent or DL?

one of those pay sites... msdn
you could dl via torrent and check the hash

Downloading 7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.iso from a torrent...

Is this the standard MS download? How would I check the hash and what would I compare it to? Thanks..

Run a SHA1 or MD5 hash against it. Plenty of websites list what the hashes should be.
