I hadn't heard they were keeping it off akamai. I have heard 
they're
asking ISP's not to mirror it (and any other mirrors), and have 
shut
down bittorrent downloads. That's understandable as they would 
be
blamed if someone downloaded a compromised version (strange how 
they
didn't mind Sp1 mirroring...).
