what url can be used to download the beta. The 32 bit one i am using is stuck at 47%

This is what I used. It worked for me.http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

it seems that ir has stopped working

I've try to download the 32-bit one as well, but after 144MBor so,Firefoxwill simply say download is complete. The furthest I gotten to was 255MB... :/
