Well if mirrors don't have the full live DVD, then where can I get a
copy before the release? Heck, why worry as the release is supposed to
be this week and I won't have time to really test it until then anyway.
Not all people that are interested in testing can access torrent files.
It would be nice to have the option to ftp/http download at those
times. This is also an issue as many ISP's are now greatly restricting
torrent access.
