Unable to Download Windows Server vNext ISOs
Hi All,
Doesn't seem to matter which browser/computer/ISP/DNS settings I use, I'm unable to get past the "Validating your request" page. Just sits there indefinitely (well, still sitting there after over an hour) doing nothing.
I do know previously Microsoft has acknowledged server-side issues with this. Is this currently the case, or does the Insider program just not like my Microsoft account?
Would be nice if there were just some direct download links to the builds after signing in with a registered account and not have to traverse a swathe of over-engineered "validation" code that's likely brittle and fails at the slightest attempt to block tracking cookies.

- Update: Working again now, so thank you to the MS staff that got this sorted.
- Update: doesn't like my personal Microsoft account nor my Work account. Same problem.
The time-consuming workaround was to download the Public Preview through my Visual Studio subscription then in-place upgrade to the latest build through flighting.
Might be an idea if the Insider builds can be pushed to the Visual Studio downloads platform - at least that works reliably.
