Don't get too excited as the releasing site has announced:

First of all let us clear up a few facts. The ¡°Shared Source Kit¡± folder did exist on the FTP until this article came to light. We have removed it from our FTP and listings pending further review just in case we missed something in our initial release. We currently have no plans to restore it until a full review of its contents is carried out and it is deemed acceptable under our rules.
The folder itself was 1.2GB in size, contained 12 releases each being 100MB. This is far from the claimed ¡°32TB¡± as stated in The Register¡¯s article, and cannot possibly cover ¡°core source code¡± as it would be simply too small, not to mention it is against our rules to store such data.
At this time all we can deduct is that The Register refers to the large Windows 10 release we had on March 24th which included a lot of Windows releases provided to us, sourced from various forum members, Windows Insider members, and Microsoft Connect members. All of these we deemed safe for release to BetaArchive as they are all beta releases and defunct builds superseded by newer ones, and they were covered under our rules.
If any of this should change we will remove these builds from the FTP and we will happily comply with any instructions to do so by Microsoft.
With regards to the BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40366823 about two Britons that have been arrested following an alleged Microsoft hack, we don¡¯t believe there is any connection with this alleged ¡°Windows 10 core source code leak¡±.

At a mere 50mb, I am sure everyone would be grabbing and taking a peek.
But all that is known now is that:

which could still be interesting except for now its not certain who has it besides another cryptic reference to it being on sites such as mega.nz.
On the forum also there is supposedly beyond the most important deleted 50mb "Shared Source Kit", two users "hounsell" and "riley". But the admins are largely going into publicity and cover up mode. Its unclear if this will ever go public or not at this point since the FTP access is quite limited, possibly strictly monitored, and Microsoft by now is trying very hard to micromanage the leak and situation perhaps using rewards or threats, who knows.
