Many users are reporting about problems they have with the downloads of the iso images of Windows 7 Beta. Some give up and use P2P networks to download the beta of Windows 7 as this seems to be the more reliable – but legally questionable – way of downloading the operating system.
The direct download links to the iso images at Microsoft tend to timeout every now and then which means that they are not the most reliable way of downloading the iso images.
More reliable than that is to open the direct links to the official Windows 7 Downloader in Internet Explorer.
Windows 7 32-bit Download Link
Windows 7 64-bit Download Link
Just copy the two links into Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer will display a dialog to install a new software component. Do that and the download of Windows 7 should begin immediately.
