Well, from 3 seconds of looking I see that one has been multi-rar'd, so if the "difference" you're asking about is in regards to the file size, that would be why.

To clear up anything else for you, here are a few statistics for each torrent.

iND Torrent: It was uploaded at exactly 19:11:24 GMT on 2009-04-24 by Anicutiant. Approx. seed/leech ratio is 0.086. There are 4 comments, and 4 negative ratings. It is a 62 part multi-rar, with a .nfo file attached, which brings it to about 2.89gb.

Other torrent: It was uploaded at exactly 12:28:34 GMT on 2009-04-24 by beksnih. Approx. seed/leech ratio is 0.153. There are 13 comments, with 6 positive ratings and 4 negative ratings. It is a single iso download with a readme attached, which brings this one to a mere 3.06gb.

Is that enough information for you? Have you acquired enough knowledge to make a smart and well-informed decision about which to download?

You can use a beta key for up to 7 hardware changes iirc. If you're just reinstalling on the same machine you can do it an infinite number of times. Just get a new one from the above TechNet link if you're unsure.

I download torrents that have more peers and seeds. Speed is my first priority. All I want to know is if they're the same and untouched, hence the reason that I'm just waiting for an official download.

I hate working with rars for images. For anyone who agrees, here are torrents for the RC that are in .iso format...

64 bit: http://www.mininova.org/det/2521354

32 bit: http://www.mininova.org/com/2521167

I like .rars

Idg why people hate that so much.

Full Windows 7 RC install in 14 minutes. I love Windows 7 + SSD :D

Yeah having a good SSD to mess with must be fun. Are you running on one of Intel's drives by any chance?

I've used beta build 7000 for a while and was impressed by it so I'll probably skip installing this build on the main pc. Maybe it'll go on the AXP1600. :v:

Nope, I wasn't willing to pay $700 for the Intel drive. I just grabbed me one of the Samsung 64GB SSDs, which perform quite well and are awesomely priced at $170. They don't do as good as the OCZ or Intel SSDs (by far), but they are SLC and still beat the hell out of a 10,000 RPM drive. I use it as my OS / App drive exclusively, with a 2TB RAID 1 array for storage.

Nick

Oh that's quite a small drive... Still, it's big enough for TF2 and L4D :D

Yea, SSD's are just a waste of money until the storage sizes goes up and the prices come down to match. That's my opinion at least.

Oh I don't consider them a waste of money at all, they're just out of my budget at this time.
