I wish I had the bandwidth. Downloading 7 and Vista SP2 used up all my bandwidth.

Nice screenshots

1. What does the button on the last screenshot, between the address bar and the refresh button (I only used IE8 up to Beta 1 on a XP virtual machine)
2. I doubt it couldn't be Server 7. If MS followed this naming role, Server 2003 would be "XP Server" (MS once referred to this name on the default home page on IIS 5.1) and Server 2008 would be "Vista Server". The exception is Windows 2000.

Windows Server 7 = Windows Server 2008 R2 = NT 6.1 Server
MS hasn't confirm what the final name is going to be, but most likely Windows Server 2008 R2 if they don't change their mind like .NET Server 2003.
Windows NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0 also share the same name among Workstation and Server.
Windows NT 4.0 for workstation was know as Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and server as Windows NT Server 4.0.
Things change when Server 2003 was split from XP. Same for Vista and Server 2008. Hopefully MS could release both Windows 7 client and server together.

Is there any chance someone can torrent this?

My parents don't like me using our on-peak downloads for my beta collecting.

Why not just let FileZilla run overnight?

The fans in my main PC are so loud its not funny, so I setup overnight torrents on a second PC.



It's fine if no-one wants to setup a torrent, I'll just download a hundred mb a day or something around that.

It's not just that, some peoples offpeak BW is sometimes between odd times such as "2AM to 9AM" and "4AM to 9AM" and times such as that, it is much easier to setup a schedule in uTorrent or similar program to download at certain times.

Since he is from Australia, I don't blame him for not wanting to use his offpeak time instead off onpeak.
