of course it's the english one - if you replace ../rc1/en/.. with /rc1/de/
you get the german version and so on..

One good thing, many were expecting it to be available
on or after Sept. 7. And, it looks like Microsoft hasn't sent
out any emails, yet. Some folks may get a good jump without
the servers getting jammed up. Also, Microsoft and Akamai
probably learned a thing or two since Beta 2.

Once word spreads, and it will fast- the real crunch time
will come after folks get off of work on the East Coast.

that's what Microsofts Server are used to expect when they set up a public
URL..
The already did the test-drive with Pre-RC1, so ..

And like I said : it is useless if one has no valid Key, just one more
reminder.

Not having a key will not stop the many that will download it anyway.
They will then show up here asking/begging/lying to get a key.

Some may go ahead and download it knowing that there will be
another CPP signup opportunity, then all they have to do is wait
for their key.

"Also lots of people whether they have a key or not will download it."

Too funny- I just said the same to you in a reply.
