There is only one install DVD, and it includes GNOME, XFCE, LXDE, and
KDE.  While GNOME is installed by default, you can choose any (or all)
of the others in the package selection screen.  Another option is to
use the netinstall image, which includes only the installer and
downloads all necessary packages upon installation.

And yes, the install DVD is available by torrent.  Both the install
DVD torrent and the netinstall images can be downloaded from the
"Install Media" section of this page:
