The Dev Center got breached a few days ago, it might not be fully functional just yet.

You can always find the developer previews on other various sites, but that's up to you.

OSX help

If you are near an Apple store, bring it in and tell them you accidentally reformatted your drive because you are a dummy. They will reinstall the OS that came with your laptop for no charge. If you are not near a store, find a friend who has a Mac and use the demo version of SuperDuper to clone his drive to your drive.
Either way and you are good to go.
 
As others said, get ML installed on a bootable drive. But since you're not a dev and love downloading stuff, you can acquire a copy of Mountain Lion legally from the App Store and burn that image onto an external USB.

Or you can take out a spare hard-drive in another mac that has ML on it, hold Alt on startup, boot into that external recovery partition, wipe your actual hard-drive through the recovery DU, and then reinstall ML from that.
