What happened to the LiveDVD
It’s currently been just over 2 days since the UER LiveDVD was launched. In that time there has been several hundred downloads of the 900MB image. The ISO was stored in two places on a server and on Amazon’s S3 service, with downloads being split between the two.
Since the LiveDVD release the server has almost reached its monthly bandwidth limit and the S3 service is becoming very costly. Quite simply we didn’t expect so many downloads and so didn’t put the necessary infrastructure in place.
Over the next few days we will be working to find mirrors for the ISOs and to set up a torrent. If you can help please contact us.
If you have Ubuntu installed you can set up the UER PPA as described in the Getting Started Page.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience, it seems we scratched many peoples itch, we hope to get things sorted soon.

If there were only some way that you could seed it once and then let peers handle the rest.

Why does this have to be a remix instead of a meta package? Could you just install Ubuntu proper and then apt-get install uer-packages, which could depend on gEDA, gResistor, etc?

This is the plan.

Yes. The LiveDVD was aimed at users that wanted to try the electronics apps in Ubuntu without installing it. I’ll make this clearer in the Getting Started page.
