I don't know when this happened but unetbootin-linux-555 is now available. This allows dozens of live Linux distributions to be downloaded onto a USB stick. The new version includes Fedora 15. The yum available unetbootin does not allow this.
You can download it from:
http://www.unetbootin.sourceforge.net
This allowed me to download the latest Ubuntu version. I admit the interface as at leas as weird as Gnome 3.

It does not? Mine does. However, what it does not (and from the screenshots on the referred-to page still may not) provide is downloading other spins from Fedora such as LXDE, XFCE and the like.

What prevents you from downloading them yourself? Does unetbootin only work with the distributions it can download?

Nothing. Just noted that it did not. Felt it was strange given that it does have xubuntu, ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu etc.

You can download them yourself if you know where to go. But here you can chose between a large number of distributions in one place. Without being snippy its obvious that it can only download the distributions it can download. But if you try it you will find it can download most of the distributions you would want to download.

unetbootin's purpose is "to create bootable Live USB drives" (according to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/), not to download dvds. If it can do that, too, great. If it can't, you can do that part yourself. I don't think anybody was questioning whether "it can only download the distributions it can download".

There seems to be a misunderstanding. I am talking about being able to download distributions. You are interested in DEs. If you want let us say LXDE under F15 you install F15 with its default DE and then install LXDE using yum.
I am completely confused by your line: It does not? Mine does. What is yours and what does it do,
I also have to make and make a New Year's resolution. (After all today is Jewish New Years) I need to better check my subject lines. It is embarrassing.

Actually, there are Fedora LXDE/XFCE/KDE, etc spins and that are not in the unetbootin options. But X/K/Ed/ubuntus are.

I was responding to your statement "The yum available unetbootin does not allow this". For me, this statement is not true.

What I am saying the yum installed unetbootin while in F15 does not allow you to download Live F15. That is true on my machine.

But it has the option, on my machine! Has done so (only the live true F) for the last 2-3 distributions since I discovered unetbootin.
Note that I have never used that F so have never actually downloaded it. I download the LXDE spin and use unetbootin to save to USB.

Or, you can install from the DVD, customize and select whatever DE you want and deselect Gnome.

You can if you have all the relevant DVDs. I think ubootnetin is very handy. I don't understand why I find all this hostility to this software.

If you like weird, take a look at Mandriva's KDE desktop. Their motto: "You want stinkin' icons? We'll give you stinkin' icons!"
