Alright, through a friend, I've managed to finagle my way into the Beta Stress Test, a weeklong excercise that I would assume is designed to place a burden on the servers. I don't know when it begins, and whether or not Beta and Stress Test people will be on the same servers, but I'm in.
The only problem is that I'm having issues with the client. Since I'm getting in through FilePlanet, I have to download the client from them, a hefty 2.2GB. While this is only about three hours with my 10Mb connection here at the University, it seems that all of the download links are corrupted. When I try to download it through Firefox, the Download Manager says it's at a few megabytes out of an absurdly large negative number, and my download rate starts at over 1 MB/s and rapidly drops down to the usual ~200 KB/s.
I downloaded it last night, twice (the connection here at the U has sporadic periods where it dies, which caused me to have to start all over), and finally got a chance to peek at the archive (it comes in a ZIP file) today. WinRAR says that the entire archive is corrupted, which doesn't really surprise me. While the download appeared to be fine, I think FilePlanet screwed the pooch getting the file up.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
