Thanks

I tried downloading it from Betaplace, getting every file using the Microsoft Transfter Manager but then afterwards I couldn't find where it had put the files

I thien went back to Betaplace to check what the fies were called so I could search for them but the download section for beta 2 refresh wasn't working

Now today it's working and I have searched all my hdds for the files but they are not there so I am having to downlload them again but now Betaplace is only using standard links using the save as command instead of the Microsoft Transfer Manager

Did anyone else experience this issue?

yeah, I had the same thing happen to me..
I think they initially were trying that new Transfer Manager at first, but then just went back to the "old" save as command to distribute it..
Either way it works just fine now, so thats all that matters!
