A little like the last build, the e-mail notifications did not go out for 12-18 hours after it was up on connect to give the trigger happy F5 Connect Refreshes a go....

I am up to 55% now...

jamie

loaded fine - ...

what is going on... Wink

a) download = 5 to 6 hours = under 2 hours

b) install - format laptop takes - 2+ hours = 1 hour

8 to 3 hours? love it

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...

I hate the fact that they're not providing an x64 version for this build (word is we won't get another x64 build until RC1 itself).

I had a number of bugs that occur only x64 reported fixed that I would liked to have checked prior to RC1. Ah well, at least it means less downloading. Smiley

EDIT: Download speed is great here too from the Europe servers, around 5MB/s, so it'll take about 10-15 minutes to download the whole thing. But it's always been that fast, since the start of the beta.

didnt work with MSBN. grabbed a dlink 30$ adapter - works "excellent"

*note to self - no more ms hardware ...ever.
