I'm having the same problem, but I found it on HTC Europe's site:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDow...at=3&dl_id=933

It's the same version number, and the same size file, so it looks like it is identical. You can select to download from Europe, Asia or US. I did Europe 1, and it downloaded in <10 minutes. Still a little slow for a 38.5 MB file, but much better than 3 hours!!

I installed it, and I'm about to update my wife's Hero to 2.1.

Ok guys, whoever bit the bullet and downloaded the sprint release and lost root I did some research and Gbhil (the AWESOME DEV over at android central) might have something here. I didnt read the entire thread but I think he may have found a solution. I havent RUUd the sprint release Im waiting for a devs rom so i didnt read the entire thread but here ya go!!

I still can't get my facebook contacts to sync up at all. I had the leak and it didn't work and now I have the official and it doesn't work. Anyone else have this problem or know a fix?

I took the plunge... no issues here. Won't miss root... will only have the Hero for another two weeks. EVO will replace it and Hero will go on a shelf.

Same issue and I haven't been able to find a fix. Let me know if you find one.

that thread was based on the unofficial leak....still can't root the official 2.1

[AaronP220]

So I guess the main question is (from the guys running the latest Fresh) is was this Sprint ROM any better?

I know the fresh has a lot of BS that the Sprint ROMs have taken out (like the NFK and Sprint TV crap).

I'm mainling asking because the wife wants to go to some form of 2.1 and if I can keep from rooting her phone it will save me 30 minutes. If Fresh is still the obvious choice then i'll just do it.
