For reference, here's how the FC6 and F7 releases went for me:

1) The day before release, a leaky mirror is discovered.
2) An enterprising user downloads the iso and creates a torrent.
3) The torrent spreads like wildfire through forums and IRC.
4) I download the torrent, and verify the signature on the checksums.
5) On release day, I download the official torrent and help seed.
