Beta Release Imminent

We're currently making some last-minute changes to the client, before we roll up a new release distribution and send out the contact emails. By our usual standards, the release will probably occur later tonight (CST).

To download the game client, we will only be distributing it via BitTorrent for the first 24 hours. You can acquire the BitTorrent client here:

Some users behind firewalls and rate-shaping mechanisms may be unable to use BitTorrent, so we'll make it available via standard HTTP/FTP after 24 hours. Making the download BitTorrent-exclusive for the first few hours will hopefully reduce our bandwidth overhead, as well as make the downloads a lot faster for everyone (BitTorrent is a P2P distributed file-exchange system).

Return to the big list.

Right where this post is.
