Ok, I got my Open Beta key, made my account and now I want to downlaod the client, but when I try to do it from Fileplanet it makes me get a subscription to FP first. Is there any other place I can dl the client?

I didn't get it through FP, so I guess I am totally screwed.
I am assuming you got the key from someone with a Fileplanet subscription. Try to 'borrow' their Fileplanet login to download the client.
I can't even register my FP Beta key =(
Yeah fileplanet won't let you download the client so you need to either borrow that persons login for FP and download it that way or get the client from a torrent. If they let anyone download the client everyone would be sharing and less people would have got a FP sub they will never use after next week. Can't have that.
OP probably got his key from the MMORPG contest or something similar. Try bittorrent or google is your friend.
If he got it from the MMORPG contest then he will have a FP subscription for a period of time, think it was 15 days or something like that.
MMORPG.com and FilePlanet have partnered to bring you an exciting new contest! From April 24, 2008 to April 28, 2008 @ 9PM EST we will be accepting entries into a random drawing where we will give away 100 FilePlanet premium accounts.
Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there,
80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters.
Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior,
and he will bring the others home.

This is a real shitty deal... you seriously have to pay a monthly fee to Fileplanet in order to participate in the open beta?!? This automatically excludes 99.9% of the people who really want to get into the action. I'm not about to pay, so does this mean i'm out of luck then?
I have pre-ordered the game already and shouldn't that count for something? I mean, isn't it more important to have a paying customer of the game you are about to launch, to have them be able to play the beta instead of some other "no-name" file service users? What the hell - Fileplanet users? What do they have to do with AoC? FP must be paying Funcom a hefty sum to get this privilege...
And FP has a lot of beta exclusives so i'm assuming that's why they went to them for it. Who knows.
