I have a fast enough internet connection using which I can download
whole CD for new release in 3-4 hours. I usually have Desktop and
Alternate CDs for latest release (i386, Ubuntu only, not K/X/L) on
release day.

I am pretty sure there are few others with same download capacity.
What we need is a good way to distribute the CDs at minimal cost and a
system to keep track of who has what.
Should we focus on developing some online app (as part of our website)
to do this? I am fine with wiki based tracking.
