What I'm getting at here, is CentOS gives a LOT! If you have never considered doing your downloads via a torrent, please do consider this and try to give back at least the bandwidth you use. I'm sure the CentOS team will appreciate this more than you will ever know.
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!
I'm guessing that the announcement is being held back until all the mirrors are up to speed. That could take a day or so.
