Description
currently, to download torrent files for downloading the .iso's of Ubuntu cd's, you have to go to http://www.ubuntu.com then click on download, then click on the "complete list of download locations" then find the hidden "8.04 release page" link at the bottom of the page. Since torrent is the most efficient way for many of us to download an entire disk worth of information, I believe this would be an easy input to the http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

When I eventually found the torrents, I loaded them up in Transmission, and they had some problem or other. I think they might have had no tracker. Whatever it was, all the text in Transmission for the torrents was red. In the end I just downloaded them via HTTP.

Torrent download of the distro should be the default, in order to save bandwith.
