I tried the torrent for i686 edition when it was first announced, and again later, and again just now - and never got anywhere; downlaod never starts. Since I just got something else from another source, I believe everything is working OK at my end - there is something wrong with that torrent.

download speed is directly proportional to how much you have already downloaded, for some reason...

I've tried the distro on my laptop (asus m6n) and it doesn't work on it. If you read their forums, you will
notice that there are many error/bug reports and new download iso will be available shortly (shortly can be a looong time).
So I wouldn't suggest to install this version, but that's my awful opinion.

Cheers
