The best way is to be available on #fedora-admin the day of the expected
snapshot or other such release.  I chat with folks there about where to
get the isos from and when they'll be hitting the torrent.  It all
happens fairly fast and staggered, so it's best to have an interactive
communication process.

Sadly our users don't think so.  The source isos are by far the least
popular torrents we put out.
