Its not a secret. Apple charges you so they can recover the cost of
the disk, and try and weasle some money out where they shouldnt (last
I heard , people who buy the public beta wont get a discount).
If you want to find something, use either hotline or carracho
(www.carracho.com).
Use:
63.92.61.21/carracho/serverlist.cgi
to find a list of servers that have the OS X beta (among other
things). Find one, get one it, and wait a long time for your turn in
the que to come up. Download the file and proceed (it looks like
most of the PB files are actually toast images). Dont even think of
trying this if you arenbt on cable or DSL (it took me a whole 12
minutes or so to dolad it on cable)
Apple does not provide you a place to download. The rest of the internet does.
