The discussion of leaked Windows 7 builds is permitted, but not how to get them.

That includes posting and requesting links. I have seen people getting infractions for both. But I always ask nicely first :)

i'd love to help, but mines from a private tracker so even if i sent you the files, they wont work without my login.

Can someone with a CONFIRMED working torrent they have personally tested, post a link?

sorry to be going on alexp999, but Mussels u can't hot link the torrent file from the place you downloaded it, but can email it, transfer it to another site, or through msn and he will be using your account to download with, 'cause u have a unique passkey for your account at the tracker that will show in the torrents u download....

And where do ino this from :rolleyes: what can i say, i am a Mod at a tracker so that's why i know it :D

It'll be released publicly on the 5th - seriously not worth bothering about if you can't get it via a torrent now tbh. Just be patient.

No links to torrents you should know that as a mod Mussels.

No requesting either, edit your post Tatty :)

in my opinion this is an exception. This is not piracy, nor warez - this is a leak of something thats going to be free to the public, and the CD keys for it were already given out (publicly)

To make this more clear: no one, EVER, is going to pay for build 7100 of 7. It cannot be considered piracy to download something that is being given away for free download. It cannot be considered warez either, because there are no fake keys or keygens involved - there were 10 (unlimited use) keys given out by MS for free.

If an admin or w1zzard says otherwise i'll do a big backflip here, but this does not breach TPU's rules as far as i am aware.

agreed; I didn't post any link myself because the sites managing the torrents are also "selling" 99% of illegal stuff, and I hate piracy, but in the case of Seven 7100 RC, there's no issue like that; as said it will be available for free for anyone who wants it in few days, old beta keys work, new keys will be distributed, so yes this case is an exception. I'm more worried about those who downloaded it from "bad" links, so this can't be repeated enough, check your MD5, re-scan the iso, scan the DVD before installing anything.

alright logos has a good point there.

If anyone does do a link, make sure its purely to a working/known good torrent file. Avoid linking to the sites themselves.

I do agree, just I know one mod (wont name them) has been giving out infractions for requesting and posting links to torrents, etc. For leaked Win 7 builds.

So where are the official and publicised-to-all links? Why are people suffering the use of torrents?

Because it was leaked a few days early by accident.

Microsoft may not have deliberatly, but it wasnt an accident that it got leaked. Someone intentionally took there copy and posted it on torrent sites, etc.

yes. THOSE people did something wrong based on their agreement with microsoft. No user at TPU is to blame for this.

Like i said - if we hear otherwise from above, i'll go deleting posts and ask for the thread to be locked, but until then it doesnt breach the rules i've been made aware of here at TPU. its no different to finding a leaked version of rivatuner or GPU-Z, out in the wild before it was publicly announced.

well, microsoft didnt leak it DELIBERATELY.

This build was released to MSDN subscribers 2 weeks earlier than to the public. all thats happened is the MSDN subscribers have reuploaded it to torrents.

that's what was planned. But MS finally decided MSDN (and MS Connect too btw) subscribers would get it on April 30...well that's what I read in many articles a few days before the build got leaked.

edit: that's confirmed here for instance:
http://www.itpro.co.uk/610710/just-hours-to-go-for-windows-7-rc
and that was posted on official Windows blogs many days ago:

Weak! It loves mines! I've been really impressed with the [gaming] performance of 7.

windows 7 does not support hardware audio acceleration like XP. If you want EAX on a creative card, you are going to need alchemy.

thanks for that... I was thinking of installing Windows 7 2moro after i pick up my new Asus P5Q Pro but I have read in a lot of places that Creative Alchemy doesnt like Windows 7 so much & there isnt really support for it yet other then just the beta driver.

Might as well hang on to Vista for the time being
