Vista - 64 Bit download

Why when i try and download the 64Bit Windows Vista Beta 2 for the public off
the website it is only 13.7mb full it has been like this ever since it was
realeased to the public is it going to be corrected.

There is nothing wrong with the .ISO images on
the servers. The problem is too many people
trying to download the files. The servers are
OVERLOADED!!!

If you find a Download Manager and use it,
you'll have a better chance of getting a full,
uncorrupted download.

Your other option is to order a copy to be sent
by mail. I ordered on June 8th and I received
my package today.

I think there really is something wrong with the 64 bit file. I downloaded
the 32 bit file just fine, but I had the same problem with the 64 bit file as
the original poster.
The only way I was able to download the 64 bit version was using the
download manager. Once it came down it worked fine.

I can't see this being down to server overload for a few reasons
1: I'm in Ireland and I start downloading while the majority of the US are
still in bed so theoretically I should have a clean run at the server
2: The file size obtained is consistently the same - Flashget reports it as
14.06 in properties every time. A failed diownload due to server overload
would vary in size.
3: As I pointed out - exploring the download folders with flashget also
shows the .iso image to be 14.06 MB, so it does appear to be a problem with
the actual file more than anything else
4: My download speed stays up between 200 mb/s and 400 mb/s depending on
time of day - again, this would contradict 'server overload' as a problem
