You can count bittorrent downloads if you are hosting the torrent server. So if MS was worried about counting downloads they should have put it up on their own bittorrent server.

The biggest issue, I believe, for MS not using bittorent, or some other method, is that they cannot adequately track the number of downloads? I could be wrong.

I know the MS bloggers have gone wild with posting about how many times Vista has been downloaded in the last week.

[...] From Techcrunch: The Windows Vista Beta 2 download weighs in at a whopping 3.2 GB (even the product guide is over 70 mb). You can download the file or order a DVD. Microsoft is strongly pushing the DVD option, noting that their servers are under severe strain from downloads and that many customers are simply unable to obtain the software this way: [...]

Re: Marty & Jake:
I also have 0e733ab1a8e8ff9a8684fd3639332773 as checksum, downloaded it three times on different locations last thursday. Maybe the build has changed slightly since then, or something is wrong with the torrent.
I downloaded via wget, twice on Windows in Belgium, once on Linux in the US (So from different Akamai servers).

This is the lamest thing I have seen being pulled off. Make a torrent of someone elses software, put it up with a lot of Google Ads. Make money!

I thought you both had some reputation, but you are just trying make money off those Adsense words.

I sure hope Microsoft serves you with a DMCA notice not because you are distributing their software, but because you are making money off of their work.

Re: Jarod at #14

I’m waiting for more seeds on the 32x version before I’ll consider adding a torrent for the 64x version. As of now there are over 400 downloaders and a mere 9 seeds which means our server is bearing the brunt of the traffic.

Re: Martey at #10

The only thing I can figure about why the MD5 is different is if the builds are slightly different in some way. We got the version we’re hosting via direct HTTP download from Microsoft’s servers, bypassing the Microsoft Download Manager (I think the link says use this if you have your own download manager). It could be that to make the Microsoft download manager work, they need some extra bits in the build.

My understanding of MS licensing is that this is fully legal. They are not redistributing the license for the software in any form, just the media. Allowing people to download the media does not enable them to use the software, they still have to obtain a valid beta license.

“Isn’t that illegal to download it that way? I am just curious”
Does it matter lol. Im shure its fine if microsoft is already giveing it out for free. Its just a beta and you use their CD key that is only good for a year. Unless someone comes out with a crack (witch they probaly will) but by that time the final build of windows vista will be out.
