If you start pulling the images via torrents, you may end up with a complete, up-to-date image not too long after release, but I think it won't be ready for any release-parties organized for today. 
Besides, compared to Friday, Thursday's not as good a day to hold a party.

BTW. for anyone close to Auckland over the weekend: AuckLUG & UALUG are hosting an installfest at the uni on Sunday:

Everyone's welcome (including volunteers); feel free to invite friends & family & anyone that would like an intro into FLOSS/Linux or have any issues with their current system (or are simply curious)
