That definitely sucks. I cannot understand why they insist forcing their customers using bullshit download managers. :)

Nope. Akami is Microsofts custom download manager. I think it helps access local mirrors for microsoft files as well but it's basicly a download manager, just not a very good, or even decent one. Love Sushi. Bring on da WASABI :-D

So it is food, specifically fish.

It's a specific cut from the bluefin tuna[^], and the default if not specified (i.e. the cheap one: think "Steak" instead of "Sirloin").

Which is odd--I was using IE and it wanted to install the download manager, etc., and then I had to reboot my computer in the middle of the transfer and I was hoping that it would restart the file transfer automatically, no such luck, and going back to the download page, nothing would happen--I'd get a "your download will begin shortly" followed by the browser going back to the MSDN page! So I fired up Chrome (which I normally use, don't know why I was wasting my time with IE) and clicked on the download button, and instead of some stupid file transfer app needing to install, it just started downloading the ISO! 2 hours later I was good to go!
