Considering that's a very old beta build and the game is scheduled to go gold in a week, I doubt it.

I thought it was to go gold at the end of Febuary not the end of January

Going gold means the final build is sent out (on a gold-colored master disc, generally) so the game can be manufactured. That happens in a week. It will then be boxed, ready, and in stores near the end of February.

Right now the developers are working very long hours to get every last bug out they can in time for manufacturing. Anything after that has to go into the first patch, but since many people may never get SDC and the patches they have to get it as perfect as they can. So they aren't really going to have time to sort problems with a month old beta build (more than ten revisions behind the current gamma build).

Does this mean the gold release can be downloaded as soon as the final build is send or do we have to wait till feb to get it ?

We'll have to wait for release.

Meaning Feb?

Yep. Brad has said they may open up downloads a day or two early to ease the strain on the SDC servers, but they can't go any earlier than that or the retaliers (who can't sell the boxed version until they get it on release day) would be *very* unhappy.

I notice the Stardock servers have been extremely slow this past week with my downloads. I normally get 300KB per second or higher and lately I average 60-80 KB per second. They need much greater bandwidth on their internet portal.

Heh, it would be so much easier if I could just drive to their office when its released... (15 minute drive from my house)
