Correction: I'll attempt to try it. I've just spent a frustrating
half-hour completely failing to get to the Beta download page. I've
registered my details (for at least the 10th time in the last 5 years or
so) but the web page just sends me round and round between log in ->
register->fill in your details->log in-> etc. etc. with no end in sight.
I have cookies enabled and so on, so I can't figure out what's wrong.
