There are a ton of threads about using the SVN, and admittedly it seems rather difficult for a non-programmer at first glance - but it really isn't.
1) Find and install TortoiseSVN
2) Open a normal Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)
3) Create a folder somewhere, where you want to dump your newest SVN revision of Roster (don't have to, I just like that kind of control)
4) Right click the folder, and you'll have some new options from TortoiseSVN - one of those is SVN Checkout
5) Now you're going to need some links here - you find those by going to the WoWRoster site (you're already here) - go to Community -> SVNergy, then to Repositories. Next to Roster1 (remember that Roster2 beta is version 1.9.9 hence still Roster1) there are three links for Web, SVN, and RSS - click the SVN link. This gets you a folder structure. Click Trunk to get to the folder containing the newest revision. Copy+Paste the link in your browser, which should now be pointing to the SVN trunk location, to your SVN Checkout, under Url of Repository.
6) Double check your Checkout directory is the correct folder where you want it dumped.
7) Check that it's set to HEAD Revision - this ensures you get the newest version - you can also choose to get specific SVN revisions by defining version numbers, if you want.
8) Hit OK, and watch it download.
9) Congratulations - you've downloaded the newest trunk of WoWRoster 2 beta.
PS. 10) If you later on wish to update the trunk with a new revision, simply rightclick the same folder, which will now have an SVN logo on it, and hit SVN Update. Simple, non?
