Do you know if this will be on the MSDN subscriber downloads today, or are we still talking about a couple days later as it usually has been?

It will not be released on MSDN Subscriber Downloads until Thursday, Febuary 23rd, 2006 (Redmond Time).
P.S. Take a close look at the Microsoft File Transfer Manager 5.0 Announcement on the MSDN Subscriber Downloads Home Page and you'll see what I mean.
P.P.S. We (MSDN Subscriber's) had to wait an extra day to get our hands on the December CTP, so we (MSDN Subscriber's) will most likely have to wait until Tomorrow, to get access to the Febuary CTP, as well.

Copy and Paste from my MSDN Subscriber Downloads Home Page.
Announcing FTM 5.0
On Thursday, February 23rd, File Transfer Manager (FTM) 5.0 will be released. When a new file transfer is initiated, you will be asked to download the FTM 5.0 client. Existing downloads with the FTM 4.0 will continue, only new downloads are affected.
What's new in FTM 5.0:
a.. Multi-Segment Download Acceleration provides acceleration for high latency Internet connections. Download acceleration is only used if a file is greater than 2 MB and download acceleration is set to No Speed Limit in FTM's options. b.. File verification. FTM 4.0 validated each data block as files were transferred. FTM 5.0 goes one step further to verify file integrity by validating the full file after it has been written to disk. Please visit FTM Central for more information about FTM 5.0. If you are using Windows XP SP2, you may need to follow the XPSP2 Install Instructions to install FTM 5.0.

We (MSDN Subscriber's) should be gaining access to Build 5308 some time later today or tomorrow at the latest.

Be patient. It should be there by 11:59pm PST. (some day!)

Do you know that for sure or are you just guessing? I know, patience is a virtue. It's just kind of sad that the people who are paying for access to it don't get it until the pirates do. How sad is that?

I see it in MSDN! Downloading now...

We have MSDN Professional level. I was able to download Build 5308 but I can not find how to obtain the product key to install this build. I have the key for "Longhorn Beta 1" but it does not recognize this key.
What should I do? -- Tien.
