Same here. I get:

"Google Earth downloads temporarily delayed

Thanks for your interest in Google Earth, but we're sorry we can't
offer you a download right now. As you know, Google Earth is in beta,
and we're still building out our ability to take on new users. We're
making good progress, and expect to be able to accept new downloads
shortly, so we recommend you check back daily at earth.google.com. We
hope to be able to welcome you and other new planet surfers soon."

BTW, first time I've come across "building out" as meaning
'developing'. Is that a new Americanism I should log?

I'm sure I've heard it before. Funny how new phrases keep popping up like that.

One that contines to irritate me though is *slowing up* - presumably these ppl also use 'speeding down' ?

Hmmm. We use it as a synonym for "constructing" facilities and
supporting infrastructure (e.g., data center build-out; adding servers /
capacity), but not meaning "development".

I'd guess they hit the subscriber threshold for the beta platform and
cutoff new downloads to control the load.

It's even bummier (if that's a word) to see that your childhood
neighborhood, once brand-spanking new homes for veterans returning
from WWII, has become a slum :-(

Well many areas I knew as a kid (Salford, Greater Manchester- look it
up) were slums already, and had been for a hundred years (though I was
lucky enough to live in a rather better area). Then they knocked it
down, rebuilt it, and 25 years later, guess what... it's a slum again.
