request for review: Gutsy release candidate announcement

[Neal McBurnett]

I would suggest talking some more about bittorrent.  You encourage
people to use it, but without motivation.  Overloaded download sites
is a big source of frustration and barrier to some users.
So I suggest incorporating some of the language at 

 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent

about how much faster your experience will be, and perhaps how much
you can help your friends out if you keep your torrent running a
while as a seed.

Also, I suggest getting this bug fixed so the release pages make it
easier for people to find the torrents (and we stop pointing to an
advertising site for commercial movie downloads....)
