I'd like to download a VM image to my local machine, so I can use it locally and upload it to another credential of Azure. I know that there is blob URL but wget didn't help to download it, because it occurs

<Error>
<Code>ResourceNotFound</Code>

</Error>

Any ideas? I also tried to migrate a VM image from one Azure account to another using Azure CMDLets, but got trouble because CMDLets doesn't work properly in multiple credentials.

From the Windows Azure Portal you can easily download the VHD. Just navigate to STORAGE and then the storage account in which your virtual disk is created. Select CONTAINERS (at the top), open the container named "vhds". Just click the vhd you want and select DOWNLOAD (at the bottom of the page).

I hope this helps.
