Its a good job I cannot get it, I haven't finished testing this one yet :-)

The TechBeta download servers are doing their jobs but bandwidth is tight and my download for both x86 and x64 is looking like at least 20 hours for the two. And that's with fast broadband.

According to the Posting it states:
This build contains many bug fixes over Beta 2, and in fact over 30 of the top 50 complaints in beta 2 are fixed in this release," according to Utakz Blog.
"The biggest change, however, is most definitely in the UAC (User Account Control) which has under gone a major design change to keep from intruding in the user's daily activities. This means you can now successfully delete a shortcut off of the desktop in 5456.5 without having to worry about having to say 'Yes' to 3 prompts!"

Thats a bit of a silly thing to say.
If you cannot get the new build then you are not a beta tester. Besides, whats the point of testing an old build. It's a waste of time.

5456 is not all new. The bugs you find in 5384 are still valid.

Would be nice if they could fix an update to Beta 2 (RC1)
Click Start, click Accessories, click All Programs, click Run, type secpol.msc in the Open text box, and then click OK.
If UAC is currently configured to prompt for consent, the Windows Security dialog box will appear. Click Allow.
From the Local Security Settings console tree, click Local Policies, and then Security Options.
Scroll down to and double-click User Account Control.
There u can play around with the settings, so it will be configured for your own satisfaction.

Nonsense. Beta 2 is not a build, it is a milestone whose first build available to testers was 5384.4. There will be hundreds of Beta 2 builds, a half dozen of which will be released to testers outside of MS, before Release Candidate 1 is released. There will be a number of RC1 builds released for testing before either an RC2 or the final is released.
Many builds of Beta 1 were released to testers between the time Beta 1 first was available and the release of the first Beta 2 build last month.

To a certain degree yes, but its a case of random hit and miss. A large amount of the things you find will have already been fixed and you would be wasting your time. It's always advisable to do bug hunting on the most recent build.

That was already true of 5384 before it released to the public beta. There were already later builds at MS. There are later builds than 5456 at MS already. There are builds that go to TAP testers that Techbeta doesn't see because the build relates to the partner in the TAP.
Please don't tell people that there is no point in continuing to find bugs and make suggestions just because something might be fixed already. MS has a good system for tracking builds, bugs, fixes, and such.

I am not complaining. I am glad Microsoft has provided 6384.4 for the public. I have been enjoying very much.

The way I see it, if I find a bug, I am going to report it. I really don't have time going through and trying to sort all of the reports already submitted for every issue that I come accross. Who knows, maybe I find a bug that has not been submitted or fixed in a version that MS has not released out to the testers.
