Productive Method for Downloading 2010 Information Worker Demonstration and Evaluation VM

Thanks to Brian Keller’s post on a similar topic (download the Project Server/Team Foundation Server) integration demo VM, here is a similar approach to more efficiently download the recently released  2010 Information Worker Demonstration and Evaluation Virtual Machine (RTM) (see this fore more info: Microsoft Project Server 2010 RTM Demo Virtual Machine is Ready for Download)

• Download and install Free Download Manager. This utility provides:

  • Auto-resume support for interrupted downloads.
  • Multiple simultaneous download streams for (usually) a much faster download experience.
  • As the name implies, it's completely free.

• Select the appropriate URL’s depending on your preferred virtualization platform and copy (CTRL+C) them to your clipboard.
