I like having a live cd to boot from (i'm presuming you can upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 from the live cd) in case of any problems, as i'm a bit of a fiddler, so i'd like to know if direct download (ubuntu.com, mirror) or a torrent would be the fastest way on day one?
I know this is probably subjective, depending on how many people are doing each, but really i'm worried about the stability of a large download. I'd like it done faster, but if direct is likely to slow down or have an error i'll torrent.
Did the network have any errors during downloads on the release of 11.04?
