I got the 32-bit version of Vista downloaded last night. My 64-bit
version is at 66%, but has been at 66% for the last hour....

Contact Microsoft, they should know what's going on. More than likely
something went funky with all of the people downloading Windows Vista /
Office 2007 / whatever else off of MSDN/TechNet at the same time. The
downloads are all stored at the same place for Microsoft Connect, TechNet,
MSDN, etc.

Cool, after 23 timeouts my download has resumed. Currently
transferring at 152KB/sec, 69% complete. Did MS (or their provider)
add more servers?

As MSDN, Technet, and Microsoft are all using the same server for downloads
of Vista I think you will find the problem is traffic related. In a word the
servers have been 'overwhelmed' Just keep trying.

John;
I am sure you are right it is traffic related.
But It has been in the MSDN newsgroups that their servers are independent of
other Microsoft servers.
In any case, Office and Vista impact the above servers.
 
The servers are slammed.

They sure are. :(

Also, a lot of people are waiting for Monday, so they'll likely be slammed
until the middle of next week.
 
I was hitting MSDN Subscriber Downloads every hour from Wednesday on and
started my downloads right after the x86 version went live around 1:30 pm
PST on Thursday. I got both editions downloaded before the interruptions
started. This is probably the heaviest download traffic in the history of
the site.

I started downloading at about 10:30 last night and my speed never got less
than 600kbps. I had the whole file in about an hour and a half.

According to Wendy (MSFT) 'The same farm serves Connect, MSDN, Technet ROQ
etc' and, as you know, the system has been extremely slow - to the point of
crashing on a few occasions.
