I'm still a bit leery of torrents, though I understand and, conceptually at
least, applaud their goal.

Took me just a hair over 6 hours to download both the "binary cds" and the "dvd" via the torrent.


with jigdo - you would have only needed to download one, and jigdo could
have created the other from the files on the one.

I mount the DVD image through a loopback interface, and I burn the CDs to CD-Rs. And I'll probably upgrade by using "yum upgrade" when I'm ready to actually to it (that's how I upgraded to FC3 from FC2 6 weeks ago). I want "official" images, and I'm not interested in using jigdo. Sorry.


//me fan of jigdo - something Debian got right
