When there's an official announcement and a torrent link shows up on
the centos website then I'll add my machine to the feed (it's a v-colo
machine at an ISP; I have 100Gb/month xfer so I should be able to help out
a bit), but I don't want to waste my bandwidth on unannounced potentially
broken unfinalised images.  Mostly likely what you are downloading now
is the final version, but since it hasn't been announced there _could_
be a last minute change.

I strongly suggest people wait for an official announcement and then
use that torrent.  That's what I'm gonna do!
