They (the CD ISOs) are available as an http download as well as a Torrent...

So.. the user does have a choice.  OK, granted the DVD ISOs are
Torrent only, but... who in their right mind would try to download a
4.8GB DVD ISO over a 56K dialup connection?  If you were lucky and had
a steady connection with no slowdowns by overhead, that would take a
solid week... at least... the realityis, including overhead, more like
almost 10 days.  By that time the Beta test would be into the next
release :-P
