go to my games, click Activate a product on steam, enter your Soulstorm key, your given the choice to install the beta and soulstorm again confused and click install

that should help anyone having trouble

The content servers always get hammered after announcements like that.

The load is spiking but its not anywhere near its peak load. America is probably just waking up to this announcement and starting its downloading so I would expect it to peak within the next few hours.

well, hopefully the download will be ~ 700MB, as i was watching mine up to 1% and this was about 7mb, so hopefully the whole thing should be ~700Mb
only thing is my speed i am getting - 25KB/s roughly, has been at around 8KB/s for a while though
and only peaked at 38KB/s
