downloaded iso image only 13 7 mb size

have been trying to download the vista 64 bit iso and it down load fine but the size is only 13.7 MB in size, anyone got any ideas what going on

If it's only 13.7MB, it definitely did not download fine. The x64 image should be something like 4.01GB. Are you using a download manager to download it, just a browser, or the MS download manager? ---------- Mark Dietz PROnetworks <http://www.pro-networks.org>

The image size is exactly 4GB + 13.7MB, which doesn't fit into a 32 bit number (up to 4G-1). Most of older download managers use 32 bit numbers to pass around size values, thus loosing any digits over 4G and being left with the reminder only (in this case: 13.7M).
Solution: be sure your downloader is capable of handling this "new technology". For example: Opera is beaten here. If you don't know what to use: use MS download manager, it works.

You mean via "Akamai Download Manager", don't you? I was downloading it as follows: -> XP[32bit] -> IE 6.0 (I wanted to be as much conforming to MS default download path as possible, since they most likely tested it the most) -> accessed the standard download site: "http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x64/download.htm" (just as in the mail link) -> section "To use the Akamai Download Manager" (additional info in section below: "Using the Download Manager with Internet Explorer") -> link "Windows Vista Beta 2, English 64-Bit Edition"
And the Akamai downloader turned out not to have any problems with big file size issue whatsoever (I only had to save the image file to an NTFS partition, since (obviously) FAT32 one wasn't fit to do the job).
But I'm quite convinced that you already did all of that. If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but I don't know how I could help you.
