I’ve found another way for VLSC files, but it also doesn’t have everything, but most of the newer stuff.

PS: msdn.rg-adguard is as unofficial as the database and they use the same endpoint for MVS files. If you have any other checksums from official Microsoft released media, please post it here and i’ll add it to the database. VLSC metadata is also coming from Microsoft. Theres an occasional post about software issues other than on Microsofts stack. Either i created checksums myself (like for Tech Bench things (Insider Preview)). Something seems to be wrong related to MSDN subscription downloads. None of these checksums come from MDL or other websites not cooperated with Microsoft. It uses the My Visual Studio API (i guess you first have to learn the difference between API and SDK.), sadly, most of the old content (Win 2000, Win 95) got removed from MVS and metadata such as checksums cannot be obtained anymore (at least not from MVS directly). > all in all it is not for sure ( not recommended) I was planning to download a trial of SQL Server Developer today from MSDN Subscriber Downloads.I have two questions: Next to each download it says: 'No product key is required'. it is incompleate (his database do not include all MSDN products) it only use published hashes from the www (MDL Forum) (I used NetWorx netstat to check the network connections.) Another reasons for the poor download speed from Microsoft is that most subscribers simply don't go to the Top Downloads page.This database doesnt use the MS SDK to get hashes (i know luzea) In contrast, Microsoft File Transfer Manager downloads only from one source. When I downloaded Windows with the Akamai download manager the file came from four different Akamai servers. These downloads don't come from Microsoft but from Akamai, a company that provides distributed Internet content delivery.

So why is the Akamai download manager so much faster than the Microsoft Transfer Manager? This is easily explained. But it is good to know that 64-bit is obviously more popular than 32-bit. I expected most IT pros to go for Windows 7 Ultimate.

It is interesting to note that Windows 7 Professional 圆4 is the most popular download on Technet. To use the Akamai download manager you have to click on "Top Downloads" first and then chose the Windows 7 edition you want to download. Microsoft File Transfer Manager is started when you download software from the Subscriber Downloads section. I must admit I never realized that there are two different download manager's on Technet and MSDN.
