This isn't an option for me, as I am on a LAN where most of the ports
are blocked.  Also, I upgraded to the beta version a few days back
with the alternate iso. What I would like to know is the time it will
require for the India Mirror, (ftp.iitm.ac.in) to mirror the final
release packages.  If the packages are downloaded, they can be cached
locally, where everyone from my campus can access them.  Hopefully,
that will mean a little lesser load on the servers :)
