On the ubuntu.com home page, if you click the download button for the
desktop or server you are taken to a page such as
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download to select a location which has a
"Begin Download" button.  Most people don't look to the right side which has
a section for "Other Options" one of which is a link for torrents.  I used
that on release day and got 2 .iso's in about 40 minutes.
