My USB drive always comes to the Clinic with me. I keep all flavors of Ubuntu for several releases back on it. It takes about four minutes to burn a CD image from it using my laptop.
I have decent download speed with Comcast at home - about 2.5 MB/s. If the server or torrent is fast enough I can get a distro image quickly. Last night I downloaded Karmic 9.10 x86_64 beta via torrent and it took 12 minutes (over 200 generous seeders). If someone wants something special, just let me know.
