First of all: I do appreciate all the effort in making the download

Absolutely. We could certainly do without the hateful and unfair
commentary, though.

I made a lot of adjustments based on the user feedback we've gotten over
the past couple of days. There's a screenshot in there that shows some
of the changes.
I agree with Alan that it wouldn't hurt to have this extra link
at the
bottom of the page, I don't think this would distract newbies
considering they should be attracted to the big blue "Download Now!"
button in the middle of the screen =) I must say I also spent a couple
of minutes going back and forth trying to find a link to the torrents
(... sure, I could have Googled right away -- which I ended up doing
after visiting the "Formats" page for the 3rd time ;-))
That's exactly what the design revision has done. The archives link has
been swapped out with one general, 'Alternative download methods' link
that points to get-fedora-all, which has been supplemented with the
archives link.
