The first time was not via the Akamai DM. it came out like 14mb or so. I did
not see the point in trying that again so I tried the download manager and
it worked but took all nite and had to restart a billion times. I was so
glad to finally get it down i did not even think of CRC checks and did a 'no
verify' dvd burn. It seems to have been ok.

When I download these things I wait until fairly late in the evening
and then go to bed. Sometimes it's done in the morning but I recall
Beta 2 required around 12 more hours.... I downloaded it when everyone
else in the entire world was doing so. <sigh>

Now I've got both x86 and x64 versions and haven't even burned the DVDs
yet, maybe next week, probably not....

and I got it, rock solid transfer rate at 507KB/sec all the way. And on a
non-download managed server. I may buy a lotto ticket. . .<g>
