You should printed out your product keys or saved them by screenshot/or a paste and copied text file while your order and you could saved your downloaded files by burn a cd-dvd or copy them to a extern harddisk.
I have done so.
So you havent to wait that they open "Your Software downloads" again.
I think that we didnt get any software in this year for our entrys and work, because the Software download is closed now for more then four weeks and this Dreamsparks Software Platform for Students is only for a few Universities here.
And its very very bad that no one from the mods answer this thread clear here.
