UPDATE
More information on beta keys are available in the news item titled StarCraft 2 Beta Keys Explained


The Russian forums have just posted a guide in how to download the StarCraft 2 Beta Client. Unfortunately, there is no direct link, but you need to do it through your account, if it's been activated with a StarCraft 2 beta key. We will update this article with a properly translated guide when it's available in English from the official source.

Two important facts we take away from this is that the client is 3 GB to download, but to install and play the game, it's 8 GB of HDD space.
