Windows 7 Beta Public Release Gets Delayed Due to Heavy Traffic
Just under an hour after the public release of the Windows 7 beta was expected to launch, there has been an update on the Windows 7 Blog, as to why the beta has not been made available yet:

The Windows Blog
Due to very heavy traffic we're seeing as a result of interest in the Windows 7 Beta, we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta. We want to ensure customers have the best possible experience when downloading the beta, and I'll be posting here again soon once the beta goes live. Stay tuned! We are excited that you are excited!So far as we know, the beta was scheduled to be released to the public at 12pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) on the official Windows 7 website. For now though, we wait.

Were you refreshing on this url:

Download pooped @ 1.6GB and firefox couldn't resume.. Well speed was good 350KB/s, while it lasted. Torrent to the rescue and 50.8% data was fine. Like it has been mentioned before, they really should offer torrent option for anything big. No wait/slots/disconnects/corrupt data, it just works. And they get the added plus of way less bandwith usage as people give a big part back.
Here is proof,you guys did use a legal email when you registered ,I have 1 more email i could use and give that key to you ....But i have a feeling all the public keys are the same...will see.....
This sucks.

The good news is that once you start the download, you won’t have to answer any more questions – you can walk away while it finishes. If it gets interrupted, it’ll restart where it left off.
