We offer several alternative Fedora download methods for advanced users, including torrents:
Fedora 13 Desktop Edition Installable Live CD
This is the latest version of the Fedora Linux operating system's Desktop Edition. It's everything you need to try out Fedora—you don't have to erase anything on your current system to try it out, and it won't put your files at risk. Take Fedora for a test drive, and if you like it, you can install Fedora directly to your hard drive straight from the Live Media desktop if you like.

Need to upgrade Fedora?
Live Media can't be used to upgrade Fedora installations. Instead, you can upgrade Fedora right from your desktop. Do this by using Preupgrade - it will install the packages you need and upgrade your version of Fedora.
