those using download mgr

With the slowwwwww connection of only a few KB's/sec, constant disconnects, and only getting a few bits at a time, how confident should I be in the integrity of the download? Is there a way to check it? That's is if I ever get the thing downloaded in the first place! <g> dotcom

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... Will it work after the constant disconnect, reconnects. Oh, and how many days straight will it take? -- Robert Firth

I swear I could get it faster on a torrent. My first attempt got to 35%, and i tried again thru FireFox instead... that wiped out the 35 % I had and now I get "thank you for participating.... you've used the allowed number of product keys".

Yes, but it would be good idea to do a CRC check on the ISO. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Hey Andre,
A newbie Q here. Can you detail how to do a "CRC check on the ISO" once the download is done?
Thank you.

An MD5 / SHA1 would be good. It would be nice if MS would sign such file like this with a PGP signature! They already sign their TechNet newsletters with PGP (which often fails a PGP verification).
If anyone gets an MD5 hash, please post it somewhere!
