Anyone anxious to see what kind of traffic comes from Windows 10 releasing
tomorrow?
Being a 3-4GB download. Each device is moving more data than any Apple
update ever did.
Wonder if they'll stage the release as apple appeared to have learned
after IOS7 hammered a bunch of networks.

For upgraders I believe only 5 million 'Insiders' that tested Windows 10 will get it tomorrow. The rest of the free upgraders (those from Win7 and Win8) will get it over the next two weeks at different times with the priority going to those that 'reserved' it in Windows Update tool.

Good to know.
I was one of those insiders, And it's running on my laptop currently. It
got the 10240 build a bit ago. Which removed the "insider preview" water
marks, And appears to be the full release version.. So it would appear the
"insiders" already have it. Or the ability to get it.

But that of course is for your non-production "messing about with nothing serious and don't mind sending all my passwords and data to microsoft and using a completely insecure microsoft account" installation. Roll-out to "Production" will not occur until tomorrow -- July 29th -- whatever microsoft's definition of July 29 happens to be. Depending on your interpretation of "on" and timezone, release "on" July 29th can commence during any of the 47.999999 hours during which July 29th occurs.

I'm not so sure of that. The 10.9 install image clocked in at 4.9 GB, and the Mac App Store for 10.10 Yosemite says "Size: 5.67 GB"; http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/features says "3GB download required" in the small print at the bottom.

Hi,
Anyone anxious to see what kind of traffic comes from Windows 10 releasing

I don't have the reference to hand (though I have seen it), but yes.
Notifications inviting people to download the upgrade will be rolled
out *starting* 29th July to people who have 'reserved' the upgrade -
the notification will only appear for everyone over a few days.
People who really want to go download the thing manually should be
able to from the launch date of course by going to the website.
Hopefully this means that the network load should not be too great, as
long as they don't 'pick' people to receive the notification by AS
number.
But, the only way to know for sure is to see what happens tomorrow.
Here's hoping it doesn't overload any major links.

A friend and I noticed that Microsoft has pre-loaded the upgrade data
onto machines that have confirmed/"reserved" the upgrade *today*.
C:\$Windows.~BT is the directory, hidden folder.
Microsoft tells me 3.2 GB for win 10 pro 64 bit.
Does anyone know if Microsoft will be hosting the downloads from there ASN 8075 or from an CDN Provider like Akamai?
According to the article I read... it's pretty much everywhere.
We have heard they will be available via 8075.

I see that everyone can download Windows 10 this morning!
There goes my bandwidth.

It's downloading for me right now, though I did reserve my slot.

One of us does not understand how "they" said it was going to be done.
4.0gb in 10mins using home fttc is not bad

Just checked this PC--apparently I already have it and am "good to go".
I was expecting an email or something.
When I checked a few minutes ago it said my PC had passed the tests--now it says it is downloading.
Speed and responsiveness "feels" normal.
Screen popped up just now--said something to effect of "Now or later?" I said later (haven't been to been in a while, have three other machines to coordinate with).
It offered me later today, tomorrow, or the next day!
This may hurt after all.

Wow, to download 3-4 GB in a developing country (like mine - Venezuela)
where there still 512 kbps -2 Mbps links for home users (and some
offices too) it will have a significant impact.. I hope they are
considering this in somehow. Imagine more than one Microsoft 10 in a
home.., it will never end
Wonder if they'll stage the release as apple appeared to have learned
