Default x64 Download Issue

Question for And

Is it at all conceivable that the checksum that you have from MSFT for
Windows Vista x64 Beta 2 is incorrect?

I have downloaded it 6 times since friday all with the same result as you.

Andre suggested in a different thread that if I can burn the iso I have to a
disc and it can be verified as a good burn, that I attempt an installation
since the error, if any, will occur long before any files are copied. I just
don't have the mental stability to try that! I'm going to give it a couple
of days and then try the download again.

I have exactly the same issue and checksum as you
(8ec33bb91f4b8a364b349323cf5dcbda) and I'm trying my second burn now. I
wonder how many people have an x64 version that works? Also I'm using the
same program with the 4.1 GB download.

Yes. I have downloaded x64 twice and both of the files I downloaded have
4,309,368,832 bytes. If you check in many places both Andre and Zack have
published this number.

But when I check either file I have downloaded with FileCheckMD5 it hashes a
different MD5 than what is supposed to be, according to the strings that
Andre has provided. Curiously, when I check the same file with Nero, as
suggested by Andre, I almost immediately get a "Runtime Error" stating that
Nero was asked to close in an "unusual way."

Even more curious, both of the files I downloaded report the same size in
bytes, which is the correct size, and both files report the same MD5 string,
which is incorrect.

I am using GetRight as a download manager, and successfully downloaded Vista
x86 Beta 2 with no issue, and also SUSE 10.1 dvd iso with no issue today, so
I am starting to think it is the file on MSFT's server that may be wonky.

Either way I have 8GB of useless data.

Does any one else have the same issue or perhaps a solution?
