The SRPMS are the source code. Unless you are a developer, you won't be 
wanting them. Even if you are a developer, you probably don't want them. 
All you need for installation are the "regular" CDs (you don't need the 
rescue CDs for an install either).

BitTorrent is probably the best way of getting this release though.
