hey,i'm trying to download the new windows 7 however, it gets to 99% and then stops. I've tried this with both 32 and 64 bit and it happens even have the 8th time ive tried to download it... help?

Hi, Which browser did you use when downloading? To download Windows 7 beta installation file we must use IE. Before downloading, Download Manager will be installed as an ActiveX and this will be the download tool. If you use third party browser, please launch IE to download. Arthur Xie - MSFT

I have same problem I have tried downloading both files with IE 7 several times,Every time i try it fails out at 99% or it completes and says its corrupted when it does the verify.I then went on to use Firefox 3.0.5 and it does the same thing.Oh and yeh I successfully downloaded the mannager on both browsers before hand .....I am sooo anxious cause i want to get in the Windows 7 beta soooo bad and imn going to miss out just cause i am unable to download it.I am un sure if there is an other way i can legaly get hold of this ?

I used firefox 3 to download windows 7. I had no problems at all. I am using windows xp pro sp3 with Firefox 3 as default browser and noting special in my set up... So the issue most likely is not Firefox

Same problem here using Firefox or IE7. I am now trying the link announced here, but I am not sure what version it is and why the file is smaller.
