Is there a link to any site that has Vista Beta 2 splitted into smaller
file sizes than the gigantic 3.5GB single file ISO? With speeds like
100kbps there's no hope to reach 3500MB *without* disconnection...
Any suggestions highly appreciated...

Okay, we've done it: VistaTorrent.com. I've set this up with Jake
Ludington, so that
(a) people can use BitTorrent to download Windows Vista Beta 2, as they're
likely using BitTorrent to do it anyway;
(b) people will now have an official MD5 hash to check against any Windows
Vista (Beta 2) ISO files they might download elsewhere;
(c) we can help Microsoft, based on earlier reports from them and
subsequent complaints from users. We're only doing this to help, knowing
that nobody wants to wait 4 weeks for a DVD to arrive when the ISO could
be downloaded so much quicker through peer-to-peer networks (with a
MANDATORY MD5 CHECKSUM comparison). If you send anybody anywhere, it's all
on VistaTorrent.com. This is not a crack, this is not a hack, this is not
software piracy - it's unofficial mirroring with official validation.
We are fully prepared to kill the seeded torrent upon request, but would
appeal to Microsoft's better senses - if Microsoft isn't going to do it
themselves, isn't it better that someone trusted is doing it for them?!
