Hi, 
Can you explain how you registered exactly ? ( ie, what step did you
follow, etc )

The same, can you be more explicit on the step you took. We tried to
make sure that everything goes to the wrong site, but we may have forgot
something.

We no longer distribute the beta, as we have now a final release. Can
you tell us where you tired to download, and details the steps leading
to that so we can understand where we should fix the website ?

Yup, that's why we should try to fix everything. However, it work with
us, so maybe there is something that we overlook or that broke without
us noticing.
