Bittorrent by default... -1

And canonical have no excuse this time. There were many ideas leading up to release to promote bittorrent more.

And everyone in digg immediately said "bittorrent".. Its common sense.

Not Bittorent by default, but include a checkbox like for the alternative CD

Instead of a torrent by default, why not a simple download page like Fedora's?!

See:

Why not bittorrent by default in the first week only? And this could be the week before the official release date. People who want regular download should wait just one more week..
