Vista - Akamai Vista downloader "fatal error" at 656 megabytes.

Win XP SP2
IE 7 Beta 3
Norton Internet Security and AV

.... all latest security patches and upgrades for all of the above ...
installed ...

656 megabytes into the Vista x86 download.

Attempts to restart the download manager give the same "fatal error"
message.

thanks, BW

I have the same problems, but in late night it's possible to download Vista
x86 Download.

You must try, try and try, like me, and you will start download.
Propably there are some errors on the server, becose i'm not alone with the
same problems, like you.

Good Luck

I had similar experience, although it had managed to download 100%, but
still came up with fatal error. Took over 12 hours to get there. Am now
downloading without Akamai - so far 73% - can't wait.
