Maybe it's just me, but what is the hurry to get at 8.0 before Monday or
even anytime next week? We're all running the beta (which has been rock
solid stable for me) anyway. It's not like 8.0 is going to be anything
you haven't already been using for the past few weeks. 

I guess I just don't understand why some people actually monitor the
rsync mirrors in the hope that someone slips up and opens the directory
early.
