This looks great. The difference between which ones are CD vs DVD images 
is now clear. However we seem to have dropped the simple wording of what 
i386 (which really should be just x86) or x86_64 or PPC means for the 
non-technical users, Perhaps we should guide them towards x86 arch by 
default?

Also it would be better to call them "GNOME Desktop Live Media" and "KDE 
Desktop Live Media" and also add in a sentence or reference explaining 
what a Live Media or Bittorrent is might be appropriate.
