Iso of buld 20282 brokern?
I have tried several times to download the iso for the build 20282 of Windows Server vNext LTSC. One of them was via Microsoft Edge, on the previous Windows Server vNext LTSC build. I tested if the iso downloaded properly by un-zipping the iso with 7zip. It gave erros on multiple files. So, deleted the iso, then downloaded it again, on another machine that has Ubuntu 20.04 as the only os and used Firefox to download the iso. After the download, transfered the iso to an external hard drive, then to the Windows Server testing machine. When I un-zipped using 7zip, I got the same error message. Burn it to a DVD RW and tried to install from scratch, it failed to boot. Tried an in-place upgrade using both the setup file on the base of the installing DVD, then the setup file in the sources folder. Both were not working. The iso files might be broken.
I have re-downloaded the iso from another machine, in another location, with another ISP. The broken iso I had downloaded was already deleted, so not way to check to checksum. The re-downloaded iso seems fine, I was able to burn it to DVD and install it on the test machine.

JDownloader seems abandoned since 2016. I do not know how safe shall it be to run it Windows Server vNext with Chromium Edge. I have tried Free Download Manager yesterday, it failed.
Also I have downloaded a Linux iso file, a small one, and the that iso seemed corrupted as well. So, it seems, it is something relating to the ISP, most likely.

Great to hear you are now up and running Radu. Thank you for downloading and trying out the Windows Server Insider builds.
Thanks!

I have download3ed the 20285 build from the same computer I have downloaded the 20282, not my own machine and not my own ISP. For a few months now, I have issues with the ISP, unfortunately, I can not change it. Something goes wrong in the download process, the same thing happened for both 20282 and 20285 iso files. I remember that, back in the day, when I had downloaded the beta iso for Windows 7, Microsoft offered for install the Akamai Download Manager, that did the job well. Those days I have downloaded a large Linux VHDX (larger then the Windows Server Insider iso)using the BitTorrent protocol, having the Transmission BitTorrent client and it went fine. This shows that a download manager seems to be the solution, at least for now. Perhaps someone can recommend a good download manager that is also free of charge, to be able to download the Windows Server Insider iso, next time. Akamai Download Manager seems to have disappeared.

Radu Ilie what language do you select for download? Can you please check the SHA-1 hash of the file? For English download it should be C73C74B60F5A72564BDA031FDCFCB087996C5708. Thank you!
I agree with Artem Pronichkin . Radu Ilie you can use Powershell and the Get-hash command to get the hash of the file. I suggest to compare SHA256 for more security. It might not help you but my en-us b20282 LTSC ISOs work fine.
Unfortunately there are none for SAC.
