Says it's good for 180 days. I'm sure within 180 days someone will figure out how to make that a bit more generous. Downloading now.
https://microsoft.order-5.com/windowsserver2003evaldl/

PS - It downloads as an ISO (545MB)

Thanks for the link - just the excuse I need to see what Win2003's like.

I'm having problems grabbing this, my http download in IE6 craps out at about 24mb with the download progress indicator jumping to 100%. I know my isp (NTL) cache http data and usually when this sort of thing happens I simply grab the file from an alternative source or get it via ftp. Unfortunately there are no alternatives listed and I don't want to install some nagware download manager

Has anyone got any suggestions how to get around this?

Get a copy of wget for Windows. It's certainly not nagware.

wget is not going to help him, NTL have transparent web proxy servers that users have no choice but to use, wget will have the same problem that IE does (assuming that the problem is that the incomplete download has been cached by the proxy).

Not say that he shouldn't get wget, it's a great tool to have around.

You can bypass NTL proxy servers by forcing the use of a web proxy server on a port other than 80.

I think you will need to suffer the pain of registering with your (bogus?) details - the confirmation mail includes the product key that you will need.

Well, let's compare keys when you get yours to see whether or not they are unique. Mine is DJY87-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XVMBT

Surely only if the web proxy you use is hosted outside of NTL's network ? (which isn't going to be an option for many people)

Yes sorry, you will have to use a public web proxy, assuming you can find one.
webcache.bt.net on port 8080 is suggested at the site below (which is very good site)

there are apparent cracks and keys appearing on P2P networks already.
