1. Download the beta client here:
[For Beginners: This is a torrent file, so you will need a torrent client. Go to this site: http://utorrent.com and click the download link. Install it, then click the link below, and scroll down to where it says "Download this Torrent" and click it.]
(TORRENT)http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5371903/Starcraft_2_Beta_Client_US_Build_13891

(DIRECT LINK)http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/17193/StarCraft+2:+Wings+of+Liberty+GB+Closed+Beta+Client

[Link no longer works.]
2. Install it. (If it does not Update, then remember to run the Starcraft 2 Beta to let it Update and get the latest patch.
 
3. To play the actual game, you cannot play using the beta, but one of our launchers. Just download one of the 4 launchers from here, http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/
Thanks to everyone who pitched in on letting us play against the AI!~
Notes~If you already have installed Starcraft 2, and you're just going to run one of the launchers, Remember to always update to the latest Patch. This can be done by just running the client itself.

According to the other posters though.. the change in difficulty isn't really there.. other than the medium difficulty on the wiki front page

Hmm..It works for me. I put it on medium the protoss had 2 gateways, 1 forge and 2 zealots. In the same amount of time on the insane patch, they had 4 gateways, 1 forge, 1 cybernetics core, 2 assimilators, and 6 zealots, and 1 stalker.

Quick question about the launcher - why is not possible to run it on VM Ware? (when running it I get an error message saying that is not running on VM Ware).
SC2 Beta is running just fine, this one should too...

Try removing the difficulty patch.

New here and I've already done pretty much everything but LazyLaunch is telling me it cannot find Starcraft II beta. Anyone know why? I have it in the default install folder.

Where is it installed in>?

C:\Program Files (x86)

However I tried moving it to C:\Program Files files as well since I have both. Still no dice.

SupraDoom

I may have figured it out. I noticed there is a new patch available I hadn't downloaded yet.
