[ubuntu-us-ut] Bittorrent Obscurity

[Charles Curley]

Why is the bittorrent download capability so danged obscure on
ubuntu.com? I started slurping in the iso via httpd because I saw no
reference to bittorrent on the main download page
(http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download). That is pathetically slow,
for the obvious reason.

I finally searched the site, twice, on separate keywords. Several
clicks after that, I finally found a page with bittorrent files:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/.

Please do everyone a favor: ask the web folks to make bittorrent much
more prominent, and to promote it as the preferred protocol. Please
list it on the main download page ahead of the http stuff.
