I download the beta updates on a regular basis and have never really had a problem doing that.
I do however take a precaution when running the ßDetection rules (Beta.sbi file) because of a higher likelihood of false positives in newly written rules. I run a Spyware scan without the ßDetection rules then run another scan with just the ßDetection rules. That way my results are separated so that I can tell if a detection was caused by the ßDetection rules.
I described this technique in Post #13 (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=222418#post222418) and Post #16 (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=222839#post222839) of the following thread:
Most recent Spybot, stable or beta.
