Hi,

I am trying to download visual studio 2008 professional and 2005 studio but, when I click on the recommended download manager link it opens the popup, then rhw download manager then errors: -

Download Mnager Fatal Error
Could not find the requested file on the server.
Contact the author of the page that contains the link.
This download will be cancelled.



I have also tried the browser download but I only get to just over 600mb and then the download ends, ond about 2 - 300mb for 1 disk of VS2005 Pro.

What do I do now?

Have you also tried it with another browser? What browser did you use? Is your internet connection stable?

Having exactly the same problem with VS2008. Download manager can't find link and ordinary download stops after anything between 100Mb and 900Mb.....tried about 12 times now. Used IE7 and FF2. Seems like remote site is resetting connection as I have to log in again once the download has failed. Will try again in a week or so, see if it's any better.

Cheers and good luck,

I have also tried Firefox as BobBinz with no luck, my Internet connection is and very stable DSL line.
Same problem here and an identical errror occurs with other attempted downloads.

I have tried to download Windows Server 2003, and Visual Studio 2008 using the http/direct download option, and via the download manager countless times, both on my pc (XP SP2, with Firefox 2 and IE), my lappy (IE7) and on my pc with linux (firefox 2).

The same result every single time.

It just doesn't work. I have spent many hours on this and am ready to give up. I have tried resuming the download by using the links on the desktop that are created, by re-downloading the file with the download manager (hoping it would resume, it does not) and by using a third party download manager.

Again: it just doesn't work.
Have you guys ever tried to download it via the browser and using FlashGet? Could somebody try it with that and tell me how it worked? I downloaded most of the software from DreamSpark and haven't had any problems...
I just tried it with FlashGet and it didn't work.

I am seeing exactly the same problems as above - the download manager cannot find the file and the Web Browser stops after 600M.  I am based in the UK and I have been trying this for several weeks now.

A shame.
Strange that it isn't working over there... I will pass this along to the team.
