Anyone able to download 8.1 Enterprise isos from VLSC ? Seem corrupt

I wonder if that is because the files are still synced across all Akamai servers or if the downloads are simply corrupt.

Tried downloading the 8.1 Enterprise iso - stops at 4MB
Tried downloading the 8.1N Enterprise iso - stops at 16MB

EXACTLY 4 / 16MB to the byte .. which seems ... odd ...

Why I need to download it ?

Oh don't ask

Edit: Seems like they are still uploading .. already "get" 512MB out of 3.5GB .. doubt I get anywhere with this by the time I finish work .. ah well ... back to tea ...

I don't have any use for it but downloaded to see if it works. Finished in 6 minutes and mounted OK. No issues here.

It's a sign for Jibba to quit IT and become a pig farmer.

That made me chuckle .. Some may say it was overkill, but whilst we are here in the UK, we also have a DC in New York .. Just quickly installed a Linux VM, threw Squid on and downloaded via my thrown together DIY proxy .. and yes, it finished in about 10 minutes - UK is still somewhat unavailable

Blimey - took 9 minutes to install - from insert the DVD to first login ... Impressive - probably takes 2hrs for Windows updates now ..
