At the moment there are no test versions of USP5.2 available yet. The only test versions available are a merged installer for .NET Framework (all versions) and test versions of UURollup. Test versions are divided into two categories:
1) Daily - these are versions containing all latest changes. They are uploaded as soon as the changes have been added which means that they have been not very thoroughly tested and may be buggy. You should be very cautious when using them. The purpose of them is testing, not installing and using on your real system! "Daily" does not mean that they are always released every day. They may be released very often but may not if there is nothing to change at the moment.
2) Weekly - these versions are released once a week, usually on Saturday/Sunday. They contain all changes from previous daily versions which have been proved non-buggy and stable. They still require additional testing so you should take this into account when using them but are much safer to use than daily versions. As in case of the former, if there have been no changes done during the week then no new weekly version will be released on that weekend.
When a weekly version has been rigorously tested and no problems occurred during the process it becomes the next stable release. Stable versions are going to be released on every last weekend of each month which means that unless there are critical issues discovered there will be no more than one stable version released each month. As already stated before, if there have been no changes done then no new stable version will be released.
Unofficial Updates Rollup
UURollup is a cumulative package of almost all currently available unofficial updates. It follows the structure of official M$ updates and can be either installed manually in a running system or slipstreamed using HFSLIP. There are two versions of UURollup available: ENU (English) and Global (non-English). The difference between them is that most of the unofficial updates are provided only in English and cannot be used in other language versions of Windows 2000. Such updates are included in the English version but are not inluded in the Global one. The biggest advantage of the English version is that there are files from two unofficial kernels (WB kernel and BWC kernel) included in it.
UURollup is complementary to Update Rollup 2. UURollup (ENU) will become obsolete when USP5.2 is ready.

Update Rollup 2
UR2 is a cumulative rollup of almost all official updates and hotfixes by request (HBRs). There are around 260 packages integrated in it. It covers system updates, MSXML updates and Script 5.7 with updates. IE/OE and WMP updates are not included. The rollup requires Service Pack 4 and Update Rollup 1 to be present and can be either installed manually in a running system or slipstreamed using HFSLIP. At the moment only ENU version of UR2 is available. Other language versions shall be ready shortly.
Update Rollup 2 is complementary to UURollup. Update Rollup 2 (ENU) will become obsolete when USP5.2 is ready.
