    I have re-downloaded the iso from another machine, in another location, with another ISP. The broken iso I had downloaded was already deleted, so not way to check to checksum. The re-downloaded iso seems fine, I was able to burn it to DVD and install it on the test machine.

    Great to hear you are now up and running Radu.  Thank you for downloading and trying out the Windows Server Insider builds.

     

    Thanks!

      I have download3ed the 20285 build from the same computer I have downloaded the 20282, not my own machine and not my own ISP. For a few months now, I have issues with the ISP, unfortunately, I can not change it. Something goes wrong in the download process, the same thing happened for both 20282 and 20285 iso files. I remember that, back in the day, when I had downloaded the beta iso for Windows 7, Microsoft offered for install the Akamai Download Manager, that did the job well. Those days I have downloaded a large Linux VHDX (larger then the Windows Server Insider iso)using the BitTorrent protocol, having the Transmission BitTorrent client and it went fine. This shows that a download manager seems to be the solution, at least for now. Perhaps someone can recommend a good download manager that is also free of charge, to be able to download the Windows Server Insider iso, next time. Akamai Download Manager seems to have disappeared.

        Radu Ilie which browser do you use Radu

        •  and what are the settings for internet options (no matter you are using IE or not) 
        •  I would recommend to disable TLS 1.1 / TLS 1.0 and enable TLS 1.2 there. 
        • Do you use 3rd party AV? You might want to check your system with Malwarebytes (free version only) if there is really nothing that has compromised the system. It is a great companion to Microsoft Defender. I would not recommend to use MBAM full version as it gives me a lot of troubles with performance and webfilter often enough and replaces Defender.
        • Otherwise if the image get corrupted I could only suspect deep packed inspection by a proxy or firewall. 

         

        However download managers are not necessary imho. I would like recommend to use the new Edge browser which is a giant leap over Download Microsoft Edge Browser | Microsoft

         

        Thanks for more details on your scenario. if you don't mind please let me know your networking adapter you are using for the download and driver version screenshots from device manager would be great.

      Actauly, the iso has repeated itself with build 20285. I can not download it from my ISP. No, downloading from another machine connected to other ISP is not a full solution, just a workaround.
