Another alternative way to download is by using Namipan file hosting (net disk or web drive space) service. Namipan is a China based file hosting service. As the Windows 7 Beta1 full DVD ISO is in hot demand, the HTTP download has been disabled. Thus, those who intends to download the ISO through Namipan must download NamiRobot (some interface in English, mostly in Chinese), which also serves as a peer-to-peer (P2P) downloader. Download and install the NamiRobot by using one of the direct download links below:

http://202.111.173.105:8011/NamiRobotSetup.exe

There is also ED2K download link, to be downloaded with eDonkey2000 client such as eMule: d2k://|file|7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso|2618793984|536FE89EAC9B27B5061E81F36485C7EF|/

Some good sign to indicate that the leaked build version 7000 is beta is that at the end of EULA, there is a text stating B.1. And the officially released DVD ISO in MSDN/TechNet has same hash values.

The ISO image is the full version DVD image that allows installation of all editions of Windows 7 similar to Windows Vista, namely Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Business, Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Home Basic.

After installing, Windows 7 has the version of 6.1 (Build 7000). The beta will expire on July 1, 2009.
