Would it be possible to add download options for the beta firmwares as well ? Would be extremely handy :)

It's possible, but unlike the main downloads, the format is not api friendly, the pages need to be scraped, and if anything changes on the page, the scraping would break. Aside from that, PF caches the data so that it doesn't have to waste time calling out and processing each time. With beta, the cached data is short lived and subject to Google when it decides to release new version, so unless it's checked each time, which will be slow, the data won't be reliable / useful.

I'll see if something can be done, but no promises, as it provide little value for high cost. The beta link is already available in the help menu under links, so it's just a few clicks for a user to grab the beta.
