Why is the vault and laucher zipped, not tarballed?
All previous updates has always been tarballed.

Thanks Maidsafe devs for another great update.
These three puppies (launch/demo/vault) 
are already running smooth on my computer.
Good to read that SAFE Browser will soon be a thing.
Huh another data type, this is no longer breakneck speed, it’s hyperdrive.
Happy testing 8 ants

So, this is my first time participating in one of the Tests. How does this work? Currently I’m on my Windows partition, so for running a vault, do I just run “safe_vault.exe” and… thats it? Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Also, where on my computer/what directory is the data from the network being stored in?

I’m on Linux for this test but last time I ran a vault on Windows the procedure was exactly as you describe, and running the exe caused a console to open, displaying a stream of statistics, including lines such as “Routing Table size: 34” or some such.
I don’t know the default location of the chunk store but you can set that location to any location by editing the safe_vault.vault.config file like this (including the quotation marks) and then restarting the vault. If it doesn’t start it means you made a syntax error.
{
"wallet_address": null,
"max_capacity": 2147483648,
"chunk_store_root": "full path to some directory"
}

Yes, to run a vault just click on the safe_vault.exe and that’s it. The data is stored in C:\user\ [username]\appdata\local\temp\safe_vault_chunk_store

When I run the vault exe, this is what I get:
Last login: Tue Aug 23 21:30:19 on ttys000
todds-mac-pro:~ toddjfisher$ /Applications/safe_vault ; exit;
logout
[Process completed]
Is this correct? Am I running a vault?
I’m on OS X too and for me it works fine when I double-click on the binary to open it in a new terminal window.
I’ll see something like this:
~ /Users/frabrunelle/Downloads/safe_vault-v0.11.0-osx-x64/safe_vault ; exit;
INFO 04:57:24.563305000 [safe_vault safe_vault.rs:99]

Which version of OS X are you running?
Another way to start the binary is by typing ./safe-vault in a Terminal window (you just need to make sure that you are in the directory that contains the safe_vault binary). That’s how I start it most of the time.
cd Downloads/safe_vault-v0.11.0-osx-x64/
./safe-vault
Let me know if it works when you try to start it like that (by typing ./safe-vault and pressing enter)

Hello,
my safe_vault runs just fine on NetBSD 7.0.1, i had to make some small changes in the source code of some dependencies.

can we get some info on what all the stuff means that the vault is telling us? like
Stats - Sent 25000 messages in total, comprising 78629721 bytes, 4 uncategorised, routes/failed: [14275, 241, 238, 236, 236, 236, 236, 236]/236
or
DEBUG 09:49:04.186397145 [routing::core core.rs:1300] Node(4aeaf3…) Received ConnectionUnneeded from PeerId(b3ba…).
cheers!

I’m also interested to know where we can see how much data we are storing for the network and how much of this data we have served up again to users of the network. Would be great to have a graphical interface for this like the puts in the launcher. As far as I know the launcher only shows how much your account is using, not what your vault is supplying.

Default vault store location on Windows is:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\safe_vault_chunk_store

data stored is this info message:
INFO 11:56:58.231671644 [safe_vault::personas::data_manager data_manager.rs:324] Stats : Client Get requests received 2652 ; Data stored - ID 167 - SD 66 - total 138817737 bytes
and the other stats is probably this:
INFO 11:51:20.612973553 [routing::stats stats.rs:172] Stats - User (Request/Success/Failure) - Get: 2990/2971/19, Put: 785/782/1, Post: 298/292/6, Delete: 0/0/0, GetAccountInfo: 67/67/0, Refresh: 5678
