Vista - Corrupt Download, any other way to get it?

Hello, my download if Windows Vista Beta 2 has been corrupt. As you probably
know, I can no longer download it from Microsoft. Is there any other
site/place to download it from, or is there a way to order a disk??? Thank
you.

You will have to wait until RC1 comes out now.

RC1 = Release Candidate 1. The first build that MS says to the world, "we
think we're good to go but if you find anything wrong let us know." (And
people do, and MS fixes more bugs right up to the release to manufacturing
(rtm)).

MS has made no announcement as to the date of the release of RC1. Its
anybody's guess. August is possible but don't hold your breath.
