Seems like it would be better to download it from Microsoft and not a 3rd party site if possible.

UPDATE... Because of heavy traffic, the Windows-dedicated area on Microsoft.com was down completely on the morning of January 9. The company attempted to extend the infrastructure of Microsoft.com by adding additional servers ahead of releasing the Windows 7 Beta bits, but, in the end simply gave up. Up to this point in time, the Redmond company has officially postponed the public availability of Windows 7 Beta to an undisclosed date.

“Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we’re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We’re sorry for the delay, and we’ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience,” Microsoft explained. Even the TechNet page, which was serving 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Beta, has now nothing for visitors, except for the message above.

Ditto

I don't really buy their load ballancing excuse tho. They obviously have some probs but I was reading good TTLs up untill the DL just quit @ around 770+/- megs. I'm curious, I wonder what the prob really is.

The site is back up today. Takes about an hour to download the OS, with broadband. Size is 2.5 GB. http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-7-Download-118183.html

Any feedback so far on this beta?

Is anyone having problems with software incompatibilities?
