They are two separate products.  FC2 (Fedora Core 2) is a set of base
install + updates that is now about 4-5 months old.

FC3t1 is a different set of base install + updates that is only a week
or two old.

The ISO's can be found on the usual mirrors and torrents with an
identification of "2.90" in the testing subtrees.  They are also
generally labeled as Core 3 Test 1.

FC3t1 will be superceeded by FC3t2 and that, in turn, will be obsoleted
by FC3t3.  Ultimately FC3 will be released.
