I suggest you use Free Download Manager to download the program, as it has an overwhelming file size. With FDM you can resume the download if you ever get disconnected. You can find it here:

As for Fiesta, I'm very much fond of it, as it introduces elements you don't often see in free MMO's. The fact that's it's going to be free for life is an element in itself. However, the best part of Fiesta in my opinion are the Kingdom Quests, they're an optional quest that occur every two hours. You group up with another 14 people and try to complete the quests requirements, and if successful you'll get a generous amount of experience, and if your luck is any good, a nice prize (ranges from things as rare as weapons to things as common as potions).
Other things I'd like to list that Fiesta offers:

The ability to license weapons for extra damage
The ability to upgrade weapons for extra damage
Production skills, allowing you to create potions or scrolls (scrolls enhance your characters stats like HP, SP, DEF etc.)
The party systems pretty good, you can set it so all items are shared equally, or make it a free for all. Either way, the exp when joining a party is excellent. Partying also becomes an integral part of levelling later.
The abundance of quests, you'll get more quests then you can handle and these keep you either stimulated or frustrated. But if you ever get sick of grinding, you can always turn to a quest for a good sum of experience/money. Some quests only require you to talk and listen to complete them (my personal favorite type of quest).
The graphics are a definite plus. They're cute. Sometimes I just go into my mushroom because it's so adorable.
The ability to create a purchase/selling store, reducing public spamming (i.e "S> ITEM XX FOR COST XX" being spammed in the chat window every second). Unfortunately spam still happens on the occasion, but I guess that can't be helped.
GM Events. While they screw up the economy, they're exceptionally fun. Infinite chests of rare goodies anyone? Or how about a mini-dragon for the entire town to defeat? Well, just know that the GM is somewhat active, and if there isn't a GM around to answer your questions, you can always shout it and expect a friendly reply (might change after Open Beta, as idiots will join more freely .__.). If no one answers, then there's always FiestaFan =]

Well, that isn't everything, but I'm sure someone will cover what I've missed. Just hope I've given you a small taste of the answer you're looking for.
