Downloaded 5% in ~4 minutes. So about an hour and a half? Not too bad for release day, if it holds up.
P.S. is Win 10 any good? do I want it? should I be upgrading my laptop to it in the middle of exam revision?

it was, yeah. I dunno why the download is taking so long for me - I have a 60mb connection and it's gonna be at least a three hour job. Maybe related to how much of a mess windows is for me now though.

If you're doing the free upgrade you can't just install Windows 10 without having first upgraded from 7, 8 or 8.1. Once you've upgraded and activated Windows 10 you can perform a clean reinstall if you wish, but you must do an upgrade first to link your previous Windows activation to Windows 10.

Ah well - I had to go out, so hibernated my PC. Just booted it up again and now the downloader just pops up a "Something happened" error message and closes itself
:(

Wonder if it's the shitty free wifi in the library - using a 9 year old's log on details, can't access facebook either. Suspect it's limited to port 80 stuff and certain sites are blocked

Probably because you're the only one downloading the 32-bit ISO.

Is it just me or are there no direct links to the ISOs? Do we have to use the stupid MS media tool? I want to use wget.
