Due to all of the problems with downloading the beta client, I would like to propose a solution. I have a .Me account which also includes 20Gb's of online storage. If I could find someone to upload the client to my account I would be happy to allow fleet members to download copies of it. I have the option to allow visitors to upload/download files. Yes, this is a little self serving, , but it does also serve the fleet, which was my intention. I realized the massive benefit to myself while writing this post.

My suggestion download the old Closed Beta client and patch it, took under a hour to patch 10gigs from them. http://www.ausgamers.com/files/details/html/49590 all the other downloads are insanely slow due to like 40,000 people downloading at the sametime lol
Wow... That's really all I can come up with. You're my hero lol. Seriously, it took me about 30 seconds to get it downloading, and now I'm running at about a steady 150+ kb/s with an estimated 13 hour download time. Which, trust me, is far better than FilePlanet's 8 day wait time, assuming it doesn't keep booting me. Anyways, I shall edit this topic with associated info once I have downloaded it. I will post it on my site so hopefully I can save some headaches for others. Thanks again!
Huh, 300+ kb/s now...

Bwhahaha I know there site is a stupid fast connection, at one point it peaked my connection at 100mbps and i almost facedesked. Once you download that file, since it is pre-open beta you will want to run the launcher, enter your account info then it will run cryptics patcher which is about 10 gigs. Larger then the actual fileplanet download but still four times faster. I downloaded the 10 gigs from the patcher in under two hours. So score for work arounds! Im good at that
