Issues with the Download Manager?
I've tried to download the Windows 7 RC on three different computers now, and can't seem to get it working.

The download manager just goes from "Please wait while your download begins" to a pop-up, then just sits. I've let it sit for hours with no result, tried reloading, killing firewalls, internet security settings, the whole 9 yards, and I can't get the downloader working for the RC.

Any thoughts?

I guess you tried disabling the popup blocker in your browser?

Re: Issues with the Download Manager?
What browser are you using? If it's not IE7 or 8, that could be the problem. Iknow that there are people that have had trouble doing the D/L on anything other then IE.

You sure you didn't miss a manual download link somewhere?
