I just downloaded the new Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 to find out what new features and improvements are there, in a very easy and faster way using the new Microosft Secure Content Downloader.
Oh! I just loved it. MS Secure Content downloader (MSCD) is a peer-assisted download manager. You can get it from the following link.
But please do keep in mind that its a CTP tool thats going to expire this August.
Till then it could come in handy for easily downloading stuff from MS.
A link to the research page of “swarming”. A technique for file sharing in MSCD.
Try downloading VS 2008 using the following methods and you will find the difference as I did.
Download Visual studio 2008 Beta 2 Professional Edition/ Standard Edition from here.
And then use MSCD as shown in the picture below.
