    The direct link provided here. I didn't try web set up since the internet connection here is limited and slow. I spent 1.5 day to finished the download ISO of x86. But error when install...

    I am using WDP inside a virtual machine hosted by windows 7.
    My machine is strong enough to support that, but it goes slow.

    Does anyone know if people are still getting errors in their downloads? I chose the 64 bit version and when it finished downloading it was only 2gb which is only 2/3s the proper file size. I have a monthly download limit and can not use torrents, so I'm hoping someone uploaded it somewhere into smaller chunks or if somebody could tell me the microsoft servers are ok to download from now. Thanks.

    Use web setup!
    I used it , for 64bit version you only need to download 1,9gb
    You can pause and resume downloads,
    It's the same as iso but instead of install.wim setup uses install.esd which is wim file but much much more compressed
    and also the prod.key is different

    if I use web setup, are you able to make a bootable dvd? I thought I had to get the iso because I want to make a bootable dvd so I can install it on more than one system. I am building a new computer which has no OS at the moment.

    After installing using web setup a WindowsESD folder will be created located on your C drive. That's the setup files (not an ISO) in case you need to re-install ur OS or if you want to use it on another PC.

    1. When using web set-up, after downloading it will check the downloaded files, you don't need to check HASH.

    2. It has a "Install windows" icon on desktop, you can choose to burn ISO and USB flash for as many time as you want by clicking the icon.:D

    If you want to dualboot from ISO or websetup WITHOUT a USB or DVD , just go to Sources folder of the ISO/folder of websetup and try to find exactly setup.exe file and you will be greeted with the boot setup =) much easier for those who want windows 7 on their main partition
