It only took an hour and a bit to download for me, rather quick for a 900+MB demo.
It got deleted rather quickly too.

If anyone is having any problems connecting just keep disconnecting and reconnected will work eventually.

The servers are taking a hit because of the large number of people trying to get it, I usually just leave it on at night to download it, also the reason why you cannot connect to play it is because everyone including thier grandma are on the servers making them full. I am not sure if they limit the number of servers for this open beta, but pretty much the whole object for this open beta was to stress test the network and make the necessary changes to it before the release. My only problem is I don't have a usb keyboard to type messages.

The only way I've found to get it to connect is by pressing 'retry' about 20 times...
The servers are all too full to play it at leisure.

They have added new servers, I've seen at least 3 more servers available since I first played friday night, and increased loads on the new ones. Unfortunately those servers still get full quickly, so it remains hard to get on.
My only problem is I don't have a usb keyboard to type messages.
that onscreen keyboard is a pain :( it's my only real complaint too.

Sometimes it's hard to connect to the servers, it only takes me 1 try in the mornings though : ) but like.. around 5:20 central I had to disconnect and go back to dashboard cause it was stuck downloadin a misison area that isnt available in beta so I had no way out besides that.. I kept trying to connect for 40 minutes so I gave up, went to ghost recon, got bored and went back to Phantasy star like in 30-40 min and I got in at 1 try :)... ANYWAYS if you want to play sent me a fr request with a msg that sasy PSU and i'll accept, send it to H2O Cobra, Im about to be level 12 on it but I cant go on till tommorow :( so hope ill play with some of you on there..
i had 0 problems with it on the download and it was EASY to get on except on satuday

It took me about 60 min to download. I love this game. I've pre-ordered it and plan on playing it with my H2O and another good friend.

I played it. It actually didn't take that long to download but...
It seemed like it would get old pretty fast. It wouldn't be bad if you didn't have to pay a monthly fee, I guess. But it seemed like you were doing the same thing over and over :/ And me being a girl, ended up spending all her money on clothes. ;]
