    I was pulling it down at my theoretical max of 768kB/s during peak hours last night.

    Mine ran at 170/173K, thought it was slow so I checked by D/Ling something else which ran at my usual speed (600k-700k) DL manager kept changing from 1/2/3/4 'connections' but never changed speed, took bloody hours!

    Grabbed the x64 ISO last night, took around 40 mins at 945kb/s solid.

    Will be upgrading from the beta build which I've run since it came out without a single fault.

    To upgrade from beta you may need to extract the contents of the DVD and edit the cversion.ini file and change the "MinClient" value to the build of your beta version or lower.......then rebuild a bootable DVD or install from hard disk.

    Installed all my apps and all working fine - got rid of XP fully and not looking back. I will take a bit of time to get used to the new interface and shortcuts, but I am sure it will be worth it.

    Sorry, bad phrasing, I'll be doing a clean install of the RC. I'm not comfortable with upgrade installs at all.

    Hi again Hexers!

    Download took about 45 mins on the 6-5-09, used a free program called "Infrarecorder" to burn the ISO which installed first time on an 80GB SATA drive. A clear and straightforward installation routine even if people want to try and install for the first time.

    I've got Googlemail and a LiveMail account set up that come directly into Windows Mail onto my desktop and everything seems fine.

    I still won't be using it for anything like day-to-day or mission crit's, but it's great to have it to mess with on another drive. Nice one M$
    Every little helps!

    It's not java - remember, you're talking about MS here and they do not like Java at all.

    Most of the speed problems are down to it picking crappy mirrors, rather than the speed of the program itself.
