As I have heard from jkrohn himself the public release of Mandrake 9.2 is available in Nov.1. The site to download it (there are many, but my favorite) is
LinuxISO.org and it shouldnt take that much time to download if you have broadband. I have currently a 256kb connection and I use a download accelerator called
Lightning Download and it takes about 40 minutes each CD file to download. It depends though what speed your internet connection is but use download accelerators and it will go so much faster. HTH's
