Same, restarted steam and nothing ... was hoping to DL the beta during classes...

Looks likes every site that is letting you download the beta is moving slower than a snail.

 

[AngelCakes]

except steam

 

[Mystery Penguin]

Its online!!!

 

[AngelCakes]

YES ITS THERE!!!...dling at 1.1 mb/s

 

[Guammer]

It's not showin' up for me restarted again and again

 

[mad pistol]

downloading!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Toasteddude]

Download is so slow. I'm fluctuating from 300 kB/s to 800 kB/s wildly. My DL speed should be 1.2 MB/s....

Anyone know of a non-steam download source?

all the mirrors on the Beta site are either down or non-responsive

 

[Duality]

For anyone not with the steam beta heres the list of available download locations:

Most of those mirrors are being overrun with traffic.

Anyone found in less busy mirrors for downloading the beta?

 

[AngelCakes]

its finished downloading for me...dont bother to run the game yet as you need a serial key to run the beta game...steam is working on fixing that right now and it'll be viewable via your my games tab

I found this German looking site - I'm downloading at 60kb/s which is better than nothing through an HTTP mirror:

EDIT:

This one works as well! downloading at 200kb/s (half my bandwidth with AT&T):
