Hello.

I downloaded the Vista beta yesterday. I was expecting a huge file, 3.5 GB.
What I got was a 24 MB file. I don't see where there were any problems.
Seems to have completed normally. I used the Firefox download manager
though I don't think this should matter. Can this be correct or do I need
to download again?

Thanks for any thoughts...

That is way too small. The file for x86 is around 3200 MB, x64 is around
4100 MB.
 
The same thing has been happening to me. The first download was almost 3 gb
but I didn't notice at first. I burned it and was starting the install and
then it failed saying it couldn't read the image.

Since then I've been getting various sizes before it cuts off which is quite
frustrating obviously.

Well I just tried again, this time with Firefox and managed to get up to
2,097,153. What is going on over at Microsoft? Don't they have enough money
for decent servers? Sheesh.
