If you looking for more download sites, try Be's European page, as it doesn't seem to overloaded right now:

http://www.beeurope.com/products/freebeos/index.html

Also, download.com is hosting it off of their high capacity ftp site:

ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/win95/drivers/BeOS5-PersonalEdition.exe

Next I expect to see some results of how many are actually running it.

[seti]

I've installed it...all I've done with it so far is get on the internet with it and find an ok mp3 player.

[Spartan]

Download it from download.com. Took me all of 5 minutes on a T1. (Someone already say that?)

As for the 500MB file system, all you need to do is mount another partition -- then you have all of the space you need! AND windows can see those files as well!
