It looks like MS has blocked the direct links. When going for a the x64 ISO I get an 'Access denied' screen with a link to the Vista home page. Thank goodness the torrents are up and running, although my uTorrent is currently only showing 1 seed for the x64 at this time.

 

[MBrown]

bump for more x64 seeds.

 

[Linux23]

8kb/sec. i'll put on a pot of coffee.

 

[fbrdphreak]

I know for a fact there are several people who have it (Already talked to DeviousTrap, he can't put it on his servers ), so if anyone has x64 DLed and your MD5 hash matches mine, please seed!!!

 

[Slicedbread]

Bouncing between 14.5k and 150k current estimated time =1 day

Guys, if you're downloading the x64 one please use the links I provided. You'll get them much faster and then you can seed once you have the iso.

Yeesh, you weren't kidding about the x64 torrent needing seeders. I'm maxing out a fractional T3 here.

Took me a few minutes too.

Just got the 64 bit version installed. I am amazed at how sluggish it is with 1gb of ram. Hopefully they get this thing running more smoothly by the final release.

It on a tech site somewhere, sorry can't remember which one, that there is a hidden process in the vista beta that can't be disabled that runs a bug checker all the time. It is supposedly very ram hungry. I don't know if that is true or not though.

Anyone else having an issue installing Vista?

During the install I select the drive to install vista on and then it says this "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation".

WTF MATE

Not enough space? There's a minimum free space you have to have

You're referring to debug mode. Supposedly that's not on in this release.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Space isn't a problem, its an 80gb hard drive. Its freshly formatted also.

I'll seed a bit for now, but Im under bandwidth restrictions so I can't seen all of it.

 

[DARQ MX]

tags for later

I downloaded and installed the XP 64 drivers, no sound for me.

I think you guys should just go to piratebay and then grab the torrent they've been seeding for weeks. There's no point in using these new torrents. It's all the same image file. As long as you have a key, then what you're doing is legal.

PirateBay isn't very responsive for me, but can you confirm they have an x64 torrent? I hadn't found it out anywhere else

 

[formulav8]

I'll hopefully have it finished by this evening. I'll be able to lend 45KB/s or so. Better than nothing I guess

Edit: The x64 Bit version that is. The 32 Bit version appears to have many seeders anyways.
