Lmao. First rule of (closed) beta testing is you aren't allowed to tell anyone you were invited

Please keep in mind this is my first time dealing with the beta I usually wait for the issues to release for live servers. Is the time remaining currect or not???

The beta client is the same game, so you're basicly downloading the whole game again. Which, without any problems, should take a few hours of shorter. Now since for you it's apparently showing '194:16:02 remaining' (which is unfortunatly the actual time it is going to take for you) there's obviously a connection issue somewhere.
You can try changing the port the downloader is using to connect to the servers. There's an instruction on how to do that on the NCSoft page in the help/costumer support section. I'm at work so I can't go there or I'd provide a link.
What I would do however is just copy the existing CoH file's content to the one for the test server. Then run the updater (with the -test attachement as shown in the link) and it should just verify all the files, instead of dling the whole thing.
At least that's how I remember doing it a few years back.
As mentioned I'm not at home, or I'd test if it works the way I say first.
