The one of the first things I did was find an alternate way to download it,
but there may be others who have this problem using the recommended download
method. Another point is that if I just downloaded it another way without
looking into it some more, I would have "lost" about 2.5 GB of disk space
(properties for the folder and the drive showed the space being used but
checking the volume for errors found none). I thought I might give some
feedback since that is the reason Vista is available for download.
