PWiki's advice on speeding it up is to run the -test updater, before you copy anything (And point it to where ever you want test) and then exit the laucher *after* it starts downloading. Once outta there, copy (only) the piggs folder from Live to Test and rerun the test launcher.
Seems this way it gets everything in the registry/checksum all set for test, but since the piggs are the majority of the client it'll read those, see that you have everything and start updating them rather than pulling new copies down.
I should note, however, this is a closed beta test, and technically everything said here is contrary to the NDA. Check your email (the one NC has registered) and if you see a message from them saying you can get in, you're fine.
