Not a good idea - for a 100% genuine source for Vista, select the download from the Windows Vista homepage. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=5026228

I don't know why but both my PCs are picking this up as a 13.7Mb file?
I'm using any download manager, and others seem to have the same problem.

This is a genuine source, it just allows you to get the actual direct download link into your download manager. That way, you can let it handle the restarts, ect.

That's because FTM5 overwrote FTM4 - that's why the bug occurs with percents going into the hundreds. It still works fine - but to get the standard %'s back, uninstall FTM then install it again from here: http://transfers.one.microsoft.com/ftm/TransferSource/FTMSetup.msi

I should have grabbed the link a little further up, http://tinyurl.com/g2nwl ,sorry. This lists what is there. Both 32bit and 64bit are there. I still havent got a working iso yet. Getting very frustrated. But, oh well. I've learned alot in the interim. <interim ?> I have a 3mb cable connection, this shouldn't be hard. But it looks like Microsoft has blocked this now.

Yup. My ISO didnt work either. I tried again this morning with the above link and get "Access Denied". Looks like I'll have to keep trying on the official download.
I sure hope the traffic dies down soon because I leave uni on tuesday and loose my fast connection :(
I'll miss janet
