They're all Warty. :-) I assume you mean the Warty preview release,
though.

Yep. My standard invocation is like this:

  rsync -avzP archive.ubuntulinux.org::cdimage/daily/current/warty-i386.iso ./warty-i386.iso

That updates ./warty-i386.iso with whatever's currently in the archive,
while not bothering to download parts it's already seen. It's rather
clever.

Cheers,
