I can think of one way this is a bandwidth saver to them: It’ll massively reduce the number of less-than-determined people and also many of those same people will be enthusiastic users of “download accelerators”.
Well I emailed their webmaster about this and he said they use the download manager because they have some files which are available to licensees only so they don’t want to offer files in the clear (ie. linkable). They also want to limit the number of concurrent downloads. Why they can’t do this and still support resume I don’t know. Probably because they can’t be bothered to modify their php download manager to support it. So noc I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t set up a mirror and I will be your 1st happy downloader 
The problem is not the download (at least with 6.3). You can’t install unless you have a license, which QSS will mail you AFTER you finish the download. We could make the image available, but you couldn’t use it.
Now if we could convince QSS to basically issue licenses before the download, or perhaps without the download, then mirrors and torrents would follow.
Rick…
Did he say if it is ok for people outside QSS to setup/provide QNX 6.3 downloads?
I didn’t ask him but he didn’t give any reason for not setting up a mirror. Except that as rick says you need their license which means the 6.3 download that I’ve got 85% of from a mirror probably won’t even work 
There is plenty of expired numbers that could be posted here. Interested?
Yeah please, or pm me it

That’s a complete untouched copy of an auto-emailed license.
Note: The Serial Number is not a valid one because it predates the new registration method.
When I run the OS 6.2.1 from the CD it is asking for user name password. What am I supposed to enter - guest etc does not work. 
QNX 6.3.0 makes that one easy.
For earlier releases the answer is “root” and leave password empty.
I must firstly admit that I have 128K dual ISDN, and a 12 hour session limit, so if I start straight away after logging on, I can just squeeze in a CD ISO if the speed stays up. Good work on the torrent, how busy is it? I am currently evaluating YellowTab Zeta (up from BeOS PE 5 Max 3.1b1) and have been relatively impressed. If I can add X11 apps on top of hardware OpenGL acceleration (anyone?) then I will definitely make the switch
You might want to check this thread regarding downloading and activation key.
BTW, QNX’s GUI system is called Photon (their own proprietary), and there are some OpenGL support.

Not working… anything new S/N?
“Note: The Serial Number is not a valid one because it predates the new registration method.”
An online registration is personalised, you should prolly get your own number.
Thank you. Sorry my mistake;)
even worse, the NC links simply leads you to the 30 day trial…hope I get my testing done in that timescale 
Supposedly, you get full features within 30 days trial.
After that, all the commercial features are disabled, and you can only use the NC part. The machine will still function, as NC.
anyone still interested in QNX in 2006?
i could not get the key .
