 The ISOs weren't there but there looked to be a complete copy of the
unpacked distribution including the documentation available to download.
 I downloaded enough RPMs so I could manually update my null box to 8.0,
though I haven't done so yet. I didn't try it, but I suspect you could
have done a network install direct from the archive, though you would have
probably run into problems, as the site was starting to refuse to
serve individual files because of the load by mid-morning UK time. 
 The archive was open when I looked around 9:30am BST, and for most or all
of office hours here.
 Incidentally, many of use on the list had worked out what the release
date was already, from past experience, confirmed by the date given on the
amazon website.
