I admit it's too early, but Community has very long term plan for Ubuntu 
Software Center. You can find detail roadmap here [1], You can also 
submit your feedback from there. we can also prefer Synaptic Package 
Manager if it's too early for Ubuntu Software Center, coming in default 
installation. Community want to address Private / Public PPAs 
integration / GDebi / Commercial Software Hosting / User Ratings, 
Reviews in single application.

FYI: If someone is downloading Ubuntu 9.10 ISO, I will advise to use 
Japan Mirror, found faster then others :)
