visual studio .net general : VS.NET 2005 RTM MSDN Downloads

Greetings,

Looks like we can download VS.NET Professional from MSDN subscriber
downloads, along with Visual SourceSafe 2005, Visio for EA 2005, and SQL 2k5
Developer.

My DSL only has 180kbps so do download the VS.NET ISO alone (3,7GB) would
take about 48 hours. SQL 2k5 is 2.7GB, that would take about 32 hours.
Obviously, it'll take a while for me to download. That said, does anyone
know when the actual DVD's will be shipped to subscribers? Perhaps it'll
arrive before the downloads complete in which case, there's no need for me
to download.


Thanks,
Shawn

if you just look at the timing of the RTM I doubt they'll make the November
disks so you're pretty much looking at December I would suggest.

Looks like I did the math wrong. I put 180kbsp not 180KB/sec. I downloaded
everything already under 11 hours.


Thanks,
Shawn
