Wow, i was downloading it onto my laptop, which had a 10GB partition. Anyways, i was about 95% done, then i got a message saying "Please insert another disk, disk full" and canceled the download. GARBAGE!

USE, Download Accelerator Plus....I was going 550-600 kb/s strong. Took about 1 hour and 45 mins to finish.

Woot! Finaly! I got it installed, and it is working. Wireless with it is a pain in the arsh if you screw up the wep password. Now to test it with games...

on my current setup, i have XP on the 74Gb harddrive, and just storage on the 300Gb.. which i dont want to risk if vista goes wrong...
Would it be easy enough to whack in a spare 40Gb IDE drive to install vista onto, and have a dual OS?
