Can't download phpBB 3 Beta 1

[CableMonkey]

I have tried every mirror at SourceForge for downloading the beta, but am unable to find a working mirror. Is there a known issue somewhere that I have missed?

http://www.phpbb.com/development/files/phpBB-3.0.B1.zip still works.

Thanks ToonArmy. I must be blind today, for I didn't see that link mentioned anywhere.

Normally I wouldn't recommend what I am about to tell you, but so far from what I have seen they are all valid files.

Search Google for the source file name:

phpBB-3.0.B1.zip

You will find plenty of mirrors there. Some of them are links to many of the same SourceForge mirrors. I was able to download it in no time.

Personally at first glance, the style of the board is very similar, however I do have to give them credit for bringing the administrative control panel into the 21st century. It needed that facelist terribly.

Downloading from phpBB.com or SF.net is the safest

As has been said many times before there is a new style for phpBB 3 but it has not been released yet because it is secret

Shot be very very carefull and make sure u get the entire file. It took me four tries yesterday b4 I gotten the entire. I kept on timing out and it'll only give me 425KB, 0.99KB, 515KB, etc. u get the point. The server was acting up on me.

I could not find any mirrors that worked.

http://www.phpbb.com/development/files/phpBB-3.0.B1.zip Did download the file but my zip program (Winzip) gives me an error message: "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.

I downloaded the file several times with the same results.

The Google search came back with nothing.

Just download it from phpBB.com, jost there u can be sure it is a working and clean Version! The Package is not big, anybody can wait a few seconds or maybe minutes.

edit: As sf is still not working, please try:
http://www.phpbb.com/development/files/ ... .B1.tar.gz

I have tried to download the TAR file and I get another error from Winzip. First I get "unexpected end of file enountered." Followed by "Invalid Compression Data-unable to inflate."

I have tried to download several times. It seems to only download part of the file but not the install.php.

Have you tried downloading from Sourceforge?

Sourceforge wasnt working (.bz2) when I tried it. I eventually found the url to the copy on phpbb.com.

Sourceforge doesn't work at all none of the mirrors work.
