I sent the following note to the infrastructure list, but maybe it's better suited to users? It was never approved for the infrastructure list. Please delete if it is offtopic.
With the impending release of F21, I was planning on setting up my RSS-enabled Bittorrent client to get the F21 final ISO downloading as soon as possible. Is there an RSS feed for torrent.fedoraproject.org?
If not, is there a mirror-friendly way to automate such a download upon final release, whether through Bittorrent, rsync, or http?
I have a few systems at home that will need a full new installation from F20, and since I'm on slow internet I'd rather just download packages once, while I'm at work in CST. I haven't figured out how to set up a local update mirror cache yet.
Thanks, Ben Blankley

In the past when I have done this I have download the RC being used for final from the staging area. Then when things open up on release day I copy the binary over to where it should be. (You can breifly start using the torrent to get the directory structure setup.) Then I start up the torrent and it should verify that the binary you copied is correct before seeding out to other people.
