of course it's the english one - if you replace ../rc1/en/.. with /rc1/de/
you get the german version and so on..

One good thing, many were expecting it to be available
on or after Sept. 7. And, it looks like Microsoft hasn't sent
out any emails, yet. Some folks may get a good jump without
the servers getting jammed up. Also, Microsoft and Akamai
probably learned a thing or two since Beta 2.

Once word spreads, and it will fast- the real crunch time
will come after folks get off of work on the East Coast.

that's what Microsofts Server are used to expect when they set up a public
URL..
The already did the test-drive with Pre-RC1, so ..

And like I said : it is useless if one has no valid Key, just one more
reminder.

Not having a key will not stop the many that will download it anyway.
They will then show up here asking/begging/lying to get a key.

Some may go ahead and download it knowing that there will be
another CPP signup opportunity, then all they have to do is wait
for their key.

that's why I posted it here, because these newsgroups are mainly used by
already testers,

as soon as I found the links working.

Takes only hours until the URL will appear worldwide in every forum and
PC-magazines websites and so on..

Also lots of people wether they have a key or not will downlaod it. You know
reality and you know the folks trying to hack and crack every software they
can get "free"..

But that is not my fault. Its just the hype Microsoft is setting free, and I
bet they have calculated the bandwith-risks carefully.
