I advise everyone to wait for the load on the servers to die down before upgrading.
I downloaded the 8.04 AMD64 alternative CD ISO (from a local mirror) and tried a CD upgrade. It asked if I would like to use the latest updates from the Internet and selecting no resulted in failure (unresolved dependencies or something). I tried again, this time selecting yes, and so I'm now in the middle of a painfully slow package downloading phase. 150MB of packages (apparently not from a local mirror) even with the CD being used as a upgrade source!
Still nothing can be worse than installing XP SP3 yesterday which completely wrecked one of my machines...
