I don't know if you guys want torrents here, but I found a nice torrent containing betas of most versions of windows from Chicago to Whistler. [url] http://www.torrents.net/down/242979.torrent[/url]

Favourite OS Anything checked :P
that's why this is in Public Servers.
..but wait.. I notice in this torrent a couple of Chicago builds that we don't have. I see 4.00.490 French, and 4.00.347 Spanish. I'm getting both now.
Got 347 Spanish, and user.exe says it's actually 4.00.346. And screenshot confirms..well, kinda.
And here.. the other bit of proof to confirm.

Well I know you guys all have it.. But I'm in the process of making some useful comments so that I can get access to the FTP so I can download Whistler 2410 Pro.. I can't find this anywhere.
Anyhow, maybe this torrent will help someone else like me who is searching for a whistler beta.

I stand corrected, I don't think we did have a couple of these builds as The Distractor says, although I know we have quite a few of them. Still, very useful.

Oh.. Nice I contributed something you guys don't have? Just dumb luck haha.. I found that torrent in the process of looking for whistler. It doesn't have the build I'm looking for but it is still useful because of all of the other builds in there.

It seems we don't have NT 3.5 build 388 so I will download it and see if it's legit.
UPDATE... It seems it's not NT 3.5 but actually NT 3.1! Unfortunately, it would not install using any of the normal methods (winnt /b) so I am at a loss how to install this build. It also seems that the EXE format has changed a little bit, most of the EXE files are detected as MS-DOS programs instead of Windows programs. I did find that CALC.EXE is a normal Windows program however and it seems this build is legit:
UPDATE II... It seems that most EXE files in this build are actually not a different format, but in fact, corrupt! I opened a few of them in a hex editor and all I got were walls of 00 which is nothing

Theres also a cool pirate bay torrent with dose betas: [url=http://www.betaarchive.co.uk/imageupload/1276092654.or.84159.jpg][img]http://www.betaarchive.co.uk/imageupload/1276092654.th.84159.jpg[/img][/url] Unfortunately, TPB was offline for some time, so i downloaded it from an alternative server, so i cant tell you the link. In this torrent, Daytona 388 is also very corrupt and cant be installed, i downloaded it many times, but it gets only the first ~20 mb.

Yes, apparently I got tripped up with that too, NT 3.1 Build 388 is just a corrupted copy of Windows NT Build 404. I'll have to remember that next time.
