Beta2 is also available for download from MSDN Subscriber Downloads -
Express SKUs will be visible probably by this evening.
 
I'm pretty sure that any Passport outages weren't related to the 50,000 or
so people who will download Beta 2 this month. But I have received several
notices of Passport related connection issues, and I'm following up on them.
As far as the $50B goes, they do not, unfortunately, give me access to the
checkbook so I'm afraid I don't have an unlimited budget for this kind of
thing :-).

You say that 50,000 people have managed to download VS2005. I have been
trying for 3 days, but only managed about 150 MB. I keep getting ( after
about 5-10 minutes) :

Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 (English), An internal error occurred -
cannot open file on server

then it stops downloading.
 
Please go to the Subscriber Downloads site and use the Contact Us form to
submit this as an issue - the download platform is working; I can download
at 4000 Kb/sec (from Redmond). There may be some sort of regional
connectivity issue, however, that they can help with.

WOW,,,,,,,,4000Kb/sec!!! And I thought my 120Kb/sec DSL was fast! You must have a direct connection to the drive array it is
stored on.
(just messing with you.....)

I guess Andy meant 4000Kbit/sec or ~550 Kbyte/sec, nothing extraordinary.

Actually, FTM reads for me about 4500 KB/sec - even though this is my
connection from Redmond campus the traffic goes outside our edge routers to
hit Subscriber Downloads. But, even across the public network there's still
not that many hops between here and the data center. What this highlights
(and what we're working on) is reducing the latency issues inherent in our
system; bandwidth and server capacity aren't really bottlenecks for us in
most cases.

Well, I'm still envious!! Maybe, someday out here in the boonies, we will get that kind of speed.
At least what I have for now, is way faster than my Dialup account used to be. I was lucky to get
14.4 download.

Tom:

When I installed VS.Net2005 Bet2, I got "Error1305.Error reading from file
d:\vs\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\PermCalc.exe.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."

I checked and found "PermCalc.exe" was located in the location.

Does that mean I have a bad "PermCalc.exe" file on my DVD image?

Thank you for your time!
