This is a tutorial on how to download windows 8 builds through Beta Archive.
BA have their own FTP server which has tons of past beta software and current beta software for games, operating systems, applications and service packs. They have recently upgraded their FTP server and it can handle speeds up to 1Gbps!
To access their FTP, register and make 10 constructive posts at BA.
Then, click on FTP servers, read the checklist on the left and click on Apply for FTP access.
Follow the forum instructions and be patient, a moderator will have to check your request.
If they decline your request, you will receive a PM at BA explaining why.
To connect to the BA FTP server:
1. Download the latest version of Filezilla from:
ttp://filezilla-project.org/
2. Once installed and opened, go to file and click on site manager.
3. Click on new site.
4. Lately, BA have changed their FTP login. Now, every user has their own password. Go to this following link for more information.

5. On Encryption, change it to Require Implicit FTP over TLS
6. Make sure the port is set to 50000
7. Click OK
8. Re-open site manager and click connect.
Did you know that if you download a file from the upload server you will get a temporary ban and that means you will not be able to access their FTP for a short amount of time? Don't do it or your Windows 8 download will be aborted.
