I think the second one is better. It explains what x86 etc means but I 
think it can be improved.

We should probably show Live media as the first choice in the list and 
mention that we recommend it for the desktop users and that it can be 
installed to a hard disk.

If I wanted to download a CD image as opposed to a DVD image, the page 
doesn't make it obvious. Live image for x86_64 is DVD size as opposed to 
the x86 version which is CD size. I wouldn't able to get that 
information easily from the download page now.

We should explain what a torrent is.

The network installation option is not explained in this page as opposed 
the first one.

We should also note that the Free Media program is a volunteer one and 
encourage people to participate.

  * Why does the install DVD have a mirror list choice but not the Live 
media?

  * Have we decided which spins go to torrent.fedoraproject.org vs what 
goes into spins page? What's the difference between them? Where is that 
explained in a way end users reaching the page would understand it?

* Mo had a few mockups that made the spins page better than just a 
listing of torrent files. We should look into that. What's the status on 
the games spin?
