Vista Beta 2 Available via BitTorrent

Users can now use the full advantages of peer-to-peer decentralized connections to download Microsoft Vista Beta 2 at speeds superior to those that the Redmond Company is able to offer. On vistatorrent.com the English language versions of the 32-bit and 64-bit operating system's beta are available for immediate download.

"This is not a crack, this is not a hack, this is not software piracy - it's unofficial mirroring with official validation. You can get a Windows Vista Beta 2 product key for free through Microsoft, as the OS won't install without one," reads an announcement posted on this site that is in no way affiliated to Microsoft Corp.

The large demand for Vista Beta 2 has crippled Microsoft's servers determining the Redmond Company to issue a recommendation to rather order the Vista DVD kit than to attempt to download it. It has also limited the number of downloads as it couldn't increase the bandwidth to further meet the continually increasing demand. Although Microsoft itself has considered the possibility of using torrent trackers to deliver the 3.5 and 4.4 GB Vista Beta 2 ISO files, it has, in the end, refuted this option and discourages Vista's download from all unofficial third-parties.
