The downloads are broken down as follows:
Visual SourceSafe 2005 Beta2 (English) - 172.97 MB
Visual Studio 2005 Standard Beta 2 (English) - 2.85 GB
Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition Test Load Agent Beta 2 (English) - 144.75 MB
Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Beta 2 (English) - 273.15 MB
Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 (English) - 3.75 GB
I kicked off the Team Suite and Team Foundation downloads with a transfer rate of ~150 KB/sec. I figured there might be a rush and the transfer speeds would be much worse. Still, I have to wait another 7 hours 27 minutes to completion. Looks like I’m going to have a busy weekend working on my Team Build article with the Beta2 bits!

Is there any word on when the April SQL CTP will become available?
I also noticed that they pulled Beta 2 off of MSDN.
Hmmmmmmmm.

Beta2 is back on-line. No word on SQL (April CTP) though.

Looks like it’s on beta place, but not on MSDN yet.
