It'll work fine on a slave.
I'm trying to figure out where I could upload it to.  You have any ideas?  The 64bit is 4GB and the 32bit is more then 3GB.  I'll probably split it into a few pieces, too.
EDIT: Or, could someone tell me how to make my own torrent?  That would work, too.
EDIT2: Ok, I think I got it figured out.  Give me a sec, and I'll have both the 32bit and the 64bit link here.

I don't know where you can upload it to.  I have a shell with read/write permissions on a fairly large server out of Chicago (my buddy's), but I doubt he'd be happy with me handing out info on it.  I think a .torrent would be the best option.  I'll snoop around to see how to manage that.  

Edit: http://opensource.weblogsinc.com/2005/05/1...n-torrent-file/

Seems pretty easy to make a .torrent with DropTorrent.  The only hangups I have about it are the EULA.  I wouldn't want to break any policies.  Anyway, you'd have to seed the whole thing first, which means uploading the full 7 gigs for both 32 and 64 bit.

What are you going to use to split it?

7-zip and winrar both work well for splitting files.  I would split it into about 300MB peices before you upload.

Torrent making is easy with uTorrent, but getting a tracker is a bit harder.  I think it can make you a tracker and a seeder, but for just 1-50 people it would make more sense to FTP.

Well, this has turned into a Vista 64 bit thread.

Anyway, I've got a valid torrent on it with about 400 seeders, so the speed is really good.

I'm still running the same vid card that I've had since 2004.  Don't laugh, it gets me by most of the time but I'm beginning to play more intensive games, so I'll need to do something about that soon.

I'm still running a Radeon 9200SE AGP 128mb, and while I'd love to go out and spend $200 on a new vid card, I have more important considerations before I do anything with my computers.

I also run a Geforce4 MX420 64MB in one machine.  A 3DFX Voodoo3 2000 16MB in another.  I probably have about 20 other video cards in my \"vid cards\" box too.  Everything ranging from Tridents to....unknowns.  Oh, I also have a Radeon 8500 AIW 64MB in another machine.  Apparently, I always go with quantity over quality.

/laugh
/cry

Why do you ask?

It might be tough for Vista to run on that.

True.  Never even thought of that, but no harm in trying.

I'll post back it it works.
