How does this work? I'm downloading now. Can I get a product key after the fact? Or do I have to re-download via an email with invitation and product key? dotcom

I got 3.12 gigabytes for the x86 and 4.01 gigabytes for the x64.
You might want to try the download again.

I did!

Did you get any more or was it the same size? If it was still too small was it the exact same size as the first download?
BTW, if the two incorrect downloads were the exact same size I've no idea what that might mean (but it might be a clue to someone else here?) unless your ISP is somehow limiting you?

The first time was not via the Akamai DM. it came out like 14mb or so. I did not see the point in trying that again so I tried the download manager and it worked but took all nite and had to restart a billion times. I was so glad to finally get it down i did not even think of CRC checks and did a 'no verify' dvd burn. It seems to have been ok.

When I download these things I wait until fairly late in the evening and then go to bed. Sometimes it's done in the morning but I recall Beta 2 required around 12 more hours.... I downloaded it when everyone else in the entire world was doing so. <sigh>
Now I've got both x86 and x64 versions and haven't even burned the DVDs yet, maybe next week, probably not....

I am gonna try for x86 tonite
