Thanks for the tip. Just gone mine.
Tried to get a second one using a different name and email address but it saw through my deception. But I think I can get around it by using my other internet account on another computer. Maybe even get one from my computer at work...
(Success. I have two. And I got a Mini Elf birthday present!)

Aangy got one, but I couldn't. Tried using the file she downloaded because I can't seem to download the magazine myself. The downloader keeps closing with no error message.

My best guess is that they are tracking IP's as part of the identification. If you can get your DSL or Cable modem to pull a new IP it might work. I wasn't able to do it twice on my cable modem but my laptop has a cellular broadband card and I was able to get another that way.
If that theory holds true, I should be able to bring my laptop to work tomorrow and use their service to get a 3rd mini. Another thing that might be happening is that they are storing a cookie or something. I didn't properly test for that...

We thought perhaps each download was individually coded, but I finally got a fresh clean download of the .pdf and still said I had already gotten the mini. Thus it must be tracked by IP address.

I'm sure it's by IP then. I was able to get a 3rd from my employers connection.
I just realized, we have a second internet connection here that we use for testing. I should be able to use it to get a 4th...

LOL wanna sell one, since I'm way too lazy to download the magazine by way of a proxy server.

Sure. Let me know when you're generally in game and I'll pop in and give you one.
Been spending time in WoW lately so I'm not in GW much...

are you using a different email and/or name each time? or is it just IP that it is tracking?

It's just the ip it's tracking. I used my email and account information and my wife used hers. The only thing we had in common was the network connection.
Oh, and I'm on something of a GW break myself. Been playing Biosphere when I can. It's very graphic however and I can't play where my kids can watch/listen.

Oops, guess I'm too late. Magazine says, "...all 40,000 mini-pet codes have been given away...." Or something like that. And then it says hope you are not too disappointed, which I'm not. But it says too keep looking for future giveaways, etc. Different mini-pets are still pretty cool, so i won't be too disappointed if I have to adventure with my Charr and Necrid Horseman, although I really enjoy going into towns to see the flying and bone dragons, or adventuring with Du when she brings out her bone dragon. Hey ! New month ! Vote for us !
