Apple issues second public beta for macOS High Sierra 10.13.2

Apple on Tuesday seeded a second public beta of macOS 10.13.2 to the public, following up on this week's matching developer release.

The new software should in fact be unchanged from the developer code, except for its availability. People registered with Apple's Beta Software Program can find it through the Updates tab at the Mac App Store.

So far 10.13.2 appears to be a standard maintenance update, fixing bugs and security vulnerabilities while also making performance enhancements.

macOS 10.13.1 dealt with glitches in Apple Pay and Microsoft Exchange sync, as well as the KRACK vulnerability in Wi-Fi, and added 70 new emoji to boot.

has anyone else been having consistent problems updating to the newest beta releases of macos high sierra? literally, after every single release, i check the software updates and i am presented with the message that no updates are available. i have tried reinstalling the beta software profile again and again to no avail. the only workaround i have discovered so far is convoluted and extremely time consuming. i must first download the macos high sierra installer from the mac app store, then reinstall the entire operating system, then download the beta software profile, then finally i am able to update to the newest beta release. i have checked google and reddit and there seems to be no solution. if anyone could enlighten me on this issue, i would greatly apprecitate it. thank you.

update: i had to go through the entire process as described in my first post, however i was finally able to update to the latest beta release. i don't know what is going on at apple these days, but in my opinion, their software quality control has gone way down and bugs, glitches, and mistakes have gone way up. seriously what the hell are they doing?

are you on a major ISP?  If not (or maybe if so), your CDN may not be seeded as fast as others.    The discussion that the apple store 'comes up' for things like iPhone Pre Orders in what seems a stochastic way may how 'predictive' the seeding of static code is. You rarely [never] 'hit' apple's hosted content, and your ISP/CDN may be a 'stale' node in distribution of app store updates.

One thing I'd is switching from your ISP to your phone Carrier (if you have some GB's available).  Once I start a download, it will continue, no matter what net I'm on
