so that's how I know. Wish it was because i'm an expert hacker or something, o well

That doesn't mean there is a setup there... It could be an old redirection link that isn't taken off... the whole domain download.msn-int.com is IP-banned, so there is no way to tell...
try http://download.msn-int.com/download/en-us/mickymouse.exe
and see what I mean...

ok, but I thought if anyone could actually find out what was there, I mean it could be an msn 6.2 beta. Thread closed in my opinion:P

This was already posted at Neowin and I believe you probably got it from there, because not a lot of people go about internal sites searching for an un-released program =).

Anyway, I announced this 3/2 days ago in the #msgplus channel, nobody seemed to take me seriously, but the truth is, all IP's of the testers are on the allow list, however that download url isn't the only thing that's restricted, other url's are too. This could mean that the beta has been uploaded, or it could be used to make us think the internal site holds useful, written-in-stone information that other hungry news sites will go about jumping and falling all over just to report it.

No one truly knows what is going to be in MSN Messenger 6.2, they only truly know what Microsoft has put on their "internal" site. This way, Microsoft can influence the way large media sites like Mess.be, Neowin.net etc..etc.. portray their information. But no one can verify this without asking a Microsoft representative =).

Very good points, and i'm sure I wont bother reporting anything unless I can download/install it. You may think I got it off neowin or heard you report it before, but I was actually very bored and looked at the source code for the site to find the links I posted. Bored all the way through, and i'm not a regular visitor on neowin and I dont use IRC

Well yes, I just used this thread as a point to vent my ranting about how influential "internal" sites can be on news sites =)

RE: msn internal site chaging slightly
you need a certian IP to access these pages... if you can find the page wth the IP's on it, then it would be a way passed it?  someone could mask there IP to a new one and your in

1. Finding such page will be very hard because it's not likely to be public.
2. If you manage to mask IP, the data wich the server replies with will be sended to the masked IP, not yours. You won't recieve data back.
3. It would be considered hacking, Microsoft can sue you for that.
Finish the problem
