I've tried Wget on Windows as well, but it only gets very small chunks at a

There are NO legitimate sites outside of Microsoft.
Further, no one will guarantee the quality or that the unauthorized sites
are distributing the ISO free of any deliberate corruption.

This is one of the few times where patience can be important especially if
