A LUG I belong to normally has these ISOs available when they first come out...

It is run by a local university... with really FAST DL speeds. (or upload on their side)
I think they have a T3, but I could be wrong. Either way... 120-150kbps DL is great compared to the 30-50 you get at most linux distro sites.

If they post it, I'll give those who want it a link for it.
You don't* have to be a suscriber to get it early...
