Visual Studio 2005 Community Technology relesed on MSDN downloads

Visual Studio 2005 Community Technology Preview March has been released on MSDN downloads.

I'm going to wait a while to download it though, since I think msdn downloads gets really slow everytime something new is released.

MSDN Subscriber Downloads needs to start offering files in BitTorrent format. ;)

Dunnuh what the security implications of that would be, but I'm wondering if they hosted the .torrent only on their server, could still ensure that only MSDN subscribers ever got the file over the P2P network? Just random thoughts as I wait for my hardcopy to arrive.

Hmmph...either I wait for my alpha DVD to arrive or buy a DVD burner...it's a big old download, 2.7GB...ah well was needing a DVD burner. Oh, and the speed is pretty good too...only another 40 hours to wait :-)

Your my hero! I would have never noticed this was there if you didn't say something.

Also about Scotts comment.
You could mount the image with Daemon tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/) and install it that way. or extract it with win rar (http://www.rarsoft.com/) or some of the other compression tools.
