Ubuntu 8.10 is out, upgrade at will. I found a great pointer for those keen to upgrade.
The strain on Ubuntu servers and its mirrors is always noticeable for the early days of a release.
Bit torrent file thrive on quantity (and of course quality) The more the better, and its popular enough that your pipe will likely be saturated.
Max downloads!
You can, of course torrent the ISO, but even better you can dist-upgrade using bit torrent to get awesome speed with minimum time wasted - it only get needed libraries, not the whole back-catalog of stuff included on the install CD.
Max Efficiency!
I have had mixed experiences with dist-upgrades, but keen to try this. After backing up my data that is! Check the article:
