Free is always good! Free download of Acronis True Image 7.
Although it is a free deal, I thought it is hot and so posted it in hot deals. The current version is 9 but version 7 appears to be more stable. Thanks to purelander at dslreports. Thread over at dslreports: dslreports

REGISTRATION LOCATION - ALIVE TU 5pm EST acronis7 <==== Appears to be dead Top of the page
(ORIGINAL) DOWNLOAD LOCATION 1 - DEAD acronis7 <==== Appears to be dead At the bottom of the page
(ORIGINAL) DOWNLOAD LOCATION 2 - ALIVE TU 5pm EST It appears that the site above is getting hammered There is an alternative download location. 1) After you get your serial you get a password. 2) With that password you can create an account at Acronis.com. 3) Go to MY ACCOUNT > REGISTERED PRODUCTS on the Acronis website 4) Then click on "Acronis True Image 7.0 (English)" 5) Then click on "Download installation file"
The file obtained from location 1 and the multiple files you can obtain from location 2 have different file names, but the contents are identical.
Good luck and keep on trying. Congrats to those who got in.

Oh yeah, a note to any new TI users... <font color=white style="background-color: #3E3E3E;">DO NOT USE THE ACRONIS "SECURE ZONE"! This "feature" (a special "hidden partition") has been the cause of more issues than any other in TI. In addition, I'd suggest using a second internal or external drive for your images if at all possible. Storing your backups on the same drive that you're imaging, although better than no backup at all, won't help you if that drive fails for whatever reason.
Due to widespread exposure of this free Computeractive download within public forums outside of the Computeractive readership, unfortunately we had been forced to temporarily withdraw this promotion due to a) the overwhelming demand placed on our server and b) that this is a closed download for Computeractive readers only.

Also the registration form didn't work too well in FireFox (the drop-downs weren't working) but it worked fine in IE. Mind you, my FF may just be broken
