Download Problems - Not Overlaoded Server related

Hi, obviously tried to start downloading Vista Beta 2 after receiving the CPP invitation link. All was okay to start with as it progressed nicely through the sign-in pages and game me a window with a product key and language specific download link. After seeing the same "sorry our servers are busy" window for several minutes (and refreshes) I now receive a screen that states the following:
Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Windows Vista Customer Preview Program.
You have received the maximum number of Product Keys available for this program.
Note: Windows Vista Beta 2 can be installed and activated on up to 10 PCs using with one Product Key.
This is worrying to say the least!! Does this mean I'm shafted and will now NOT be able to download from the MS website? If not, is there a FREE support point I can contact MS about this problem so that I may downlaod once the servers can caope with demand?
Thanks,
Gazza

Don't refresh..that's a new application each time. Click the link in the email they send you instead.
