Demystifying the MS Stance on BitTorrents | |

What’s the deal with the BitTorrent sites springing up to mirror the Beta 2 release of Windows Vista? As you’re probably aware from reading this blog, we ran into some issues delivering the download of Windows Vista Beta 2 to everyone who wanted to test out the release. Some of our fans (those with more resources at their disposal) very cleverly created a BitTorrent to mirror the files being offered in an attempt to alleviate the pressure our servers were under during the first weekend of release. This was not something that we prompted them to do, but rather the guys at Lockergnome took it upon themselves to put up a site that offered a digitally verified copy of the same Beta 2 file we posted to windowsvista.com. | ||
