to those of you who don't know this is a warning. DO NOT download auto-patched ISOs and other things like that. The reason is that 9 times out of 10 the special 'tweaks' people use also contain either trojens or viruses of some sort. I cant say all do but most of the versions like this that i have seen are. So a word to the wise is to download only uncracked clean ISOs that come from MS.
I think it depends on if you know the person(s) that you are downloading from. I feel VERY confident in my source for build 2517 and after reading your post checked thru another computer and made certain this ISO was clean. Installed without a hitch and is running perfectly.
If you are careful in who you download from you can, with reasonable certainty avoid some of the issues like trojans and such.

yes i got this iso from the same great sorce as the stickman and altough i myself haven't run it yet all the peps that downloaded it from my site and my mirrors are happy with it. so i'd say it realy depends on the sorce.
Normally THC you are spot on, but 2517 is auto-patched and available (and trojan free) on a number of newsgroups. Everything is crackable. Sorry, mate.
That said, you are right that you must check closely...
Peace,

the 60 day limit resets every time you reboot the machine (or so it reads in my .nfo). If thats the case, isn't this build then cracked.
I know its splitting hairs...but its monday and I don't feel like working much hehehehe

with this new 60 day key why bother cracking the sh1t
has anyone here run any build of xp for more than 60 days or even close to that amount of time. builds last 2 weeks at most on my computer.

been thinking the same thing myself.
this 2517 runs so well, that if I had to use it from now on, I could live with it lol

agreed. but to be honest, since I haven't had to activate it and I don't get any stupid reminders to do so, as far as I am concerned, it is (effectively) cracked. what am I missing (specifically) regarding 2517? Autopatch-wise, it is behaving the same as all previously leaked releases?

well set the clock ahead 3 or 4 months and see what happens then u will know if the crack works or not
i would do it myself but i have decided to stick with 2505 until rc2 is released. (should be in the next week or so)
You Lucky,Lucky Bastards. Oh to live in America. Instead I live in Rural Australia with a crappy 56k connection. There's not a chance in hell I could ever download XP. But the weather IS nice. I tries the xp windows blinds and they were rubbish. Anyone feeling generous, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE.
i downloaded almost all the builds on a 28 k connection (due to bad phone lines) starting at 2250 all the way to 2465 then i got cable and it has been easier to get the builds
but what it realy comes down to is persistance and dedication
how bad do u want it?
o and here is a question for the admins
this dude wants windowblinds xp beta 4 which was at one point available for anyone to download from stardock. my question is can i post this for him or would that be against the rules. U guys got all huffy b4 when i mearly sugested that someone should download some new software (no link was posted) so i just want to make sure it is ok with u guys first cause being a member here is means more to me than gettin this kid window blinds xp beta
anyway whatever
i kinda went off there

I would like to be able to download it, BUT my connection is unreliable ( I am 800kms from major city ) , phone calls are timed, 300meg download limit, disconnection every 4 hours, often less , I need my phone for work and trying to find a site is a nightmare ie. ***** Popup HELL 4.2kb second sucks. I want XP badly but not that badly
Like I said, the weather is REALLY nice
