Vista downloads are sucking the bandwidth!
Microsoft was still warning users on Monday to order a DVD copy of Windows Vista 2 rather than download the massive multi-gigabyte files, saying that it couldn't pump out bits any faster without impacting the Internet as a whole.
On Friday, the developer posted a message on the Visa 2 Beta download and order page that said company servers were experiencing extremely high demand.
"The wait time to start the download is very long and many customers may be unable to access the download site. To guarantee participation in the Customer Preview Program (to receive both Beta 2 and RC1) we recommend you use the DVD kit order option," the message read. As of Monday morning, the statement remained on the site, even though TechWeb was able to access the servers and begin multiple downloads.
