Issues downloading Windows 7 ISO

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the Windows 7 ISO legally from Microsoft's site?

Basically, I go to

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...nload/windows7

I plug in my serial number from my original Windows, and it accepts it just fine—it says "The product key is eligible for Windows 7 Professional SP1"—and then it lets me pick which language I want. I tried both English and American English, but the download just won't start. It just sits there spinning on "Validating Your request. This may take several minutes. Do not refresh the page or select back, doing so will cancel the request."

I’ve downloaded stuff from here before without any issues. Honestly, this official Microsoft site is pretty useful because if you lose your original installation disc but still have the serial number, you can grab the OS legally. There's really no reason to mess around with torrents that are crawling with malware. You can even choose between the 32-bit or 64-bit versions👍

Have you tried testing this in different browsers? Specifically using an EU-based connection?

I've already tried running it through IE, Firefox, and Chrome—nothing works.

Have you tried downloading something else? Also, what kind of antivirus are you running?
Sometimes some random malware can mess things up and just block your downloads entirely.
