Investigating Azure Downloads Issues
Mark Curphey here
We are actively investigating intermittent reports of slow download speeds and some files not completing their full download size in some parts of the world. We made changes to the network yesterday and expect to make more later today.
We will be updating the @msdn twitter account with updates as they happen and our support folks are helping users in the MSDN Subscriptions forum.
Our apologies. We are actively working to get everything running and back to normal as soon as possible.

I also got a tweet from @MSDN stating that the servers are working perfectly and there isn't a problem. They're kidding right? If so, its a REAL bad joke. I just tried 3 hours ago to download a 2.3GB ISO and it bombed out just less than 1 Gig. I get another tweet from @MSDN to contact my RSC. Another real bad joke. I've been in contact with them before, and they told me to post in the forums or contact my ISP for further assistance! BAD TECH SUPPORT!!Anonymous

I am also having this issue. I have not been able to download a thing for 3 days now. Its incredably frustrating and the communication on the problem has been terrible - 4 days since this post was updated and nothing useful on Twitter. PLEASE give us an ETA or a workaround.Anonymous
