These dumb bastards were incharge of hosting the downloads for the WinXP WPP. RC1 was downloaded with out a hitch because they batch released the personal logins at like 5000 emails a day. So everyday another 5000 or so people had access to the download. Everything worked well, everybody got there chance at high bandwidth downloading when it was their turn. Turns were based off of when you signed up for the WPP. Well time to release RC2 comes around and the dumb bastards just used the same logins as for RC1 and set out emails saying that it was your turn and use the same old logins. Did people wait to get there email or did they just here from somebody that they could download it. WTF was conxion thinking, that everybody would wait till they were told it was there turn and then download it. So now all 250k WPP persons are trying to download this 500 iso. I downloaded RC1 in like an hour at 300k+. Now I am lucky if I can even log in to start the download, which is topping out at like 10k/sec and hangs about every 50 megs to the point you have to disconnect and reconnect. And to think that Microsoft is going to try and use the .NET system for business. I dont think corporations are going to be happy if they cant use their software because to many other people are also trying to do business that day. Once again I repeat stupid, stupid conxion and Microsoft. You would think multi-milloin dollar corporations would have some level of common sense or atleast hire somebody that does!!!!!

Let me guess, your one of those guys that goes into Radio Shack and syas "My computers too slow, it takes 20 minutes to download a song from Napster, sell me a faster one", right?
Problem is, my computer is probably much faster than yours. My connection speed is slow because I'm connected to my ISP through a 30 year old phone system! Even a 100GHz (that's 100000MHz) computer could not download any faster when connected through the same system. I was downloading at 2KB/s. The maximum I can get is 4KB/s. My server connects at 33.6k through my line, which is 33.6 KilloBITS, or 33600 bits, which, at 8bits per byte, is 4200 BYTES, or 4KB. You cannot recieve faster than the line supports, no matter how fast your computer is!

I'm so tired of cookies I'd settle for spam!
