Technical Refresh for Office 2003 Beta 2

[Jay Davis]

I have attempted unsuccessfully 4 times to download the Technical Refresh to
MS Office 2003 Beta, with only about 20Megs left to download I get an error
that the Server has timed out. I have tried downloading the updates for
Info and One Note successfully, but the Technical Refresh for MS Office 2003
Beta will not download successfully, probably due to its size... All three
combined were 1.6 Gig's.

Does MS Office the Technical Refresh on CD ROM? I've sent two requests to
MS via email with no response. Has anyone else experienced the same
problem. I have downloaded files of this size before successfully with no
problem from other sites...

Regards...

Jay

Of course, I have broadband but I never had any problems downloading when I
was on dial-up.

It takes about 13 hours to download on dial-up... What happens when the
connection with the server is reset at 12 hrs?

Thanks Milly! I will do just that for the future... For today's problem, I
logged on from work, downloaded it in about 10 minutes and burned it to a
CD! I'm happy once again.
