</div>Absolutely. We could certainly do without the hateful and unfair<br>

I made a lot of adjustments based on the user feedback we've gotten over<br>
the past couple of days. There's a screenshot in there that shows some<br>
of the changes.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ok, that's better. Still, I would suggest to make it a little more explicit. You see, when I didn't find the link to the torrents right away, my first reaction was to CTRL+F for "torrent".</div>

</div>That's exactly what the design revision has done. The archives link has<br>
been swapped out with one general, 'Alternative download methods' link<br>
that points to get-fedora-all, which has been supplemented with the<br>
archives link.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As I said above, it's an improvement, but IMHO something like a "Advanced User? Click here for torrent, jigdo etc." link closer to the default option (the big blue "Download Now!" button) would be more helpful and would not distract newbies.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Just another $0.02 ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Andre</div></div>
