I?ve checked about a dozen of the mirrors, and see no *.torrent files yet.  Any
idea how long they?ll take to appear?  I ask because we?re building a system
today, so if it?s going to be more than a few hours, I?ll grab the ISO file
directly, but otherwise, I?d prefer to spread the load.

The ?RHEL? link here still points to the 7.4 release notes:

Probably not going to have them seeded today.  Debuginfo in progress
right now and there are a bunch of things that need to be added to the
extras repositories for docker/cloud/atomic that are priority for right now.

OK .. the torrent files are on mirror.centos.org and the torrent server
has seeds, so the torrents can now be downloaded.

Special thanks for the torrents go to Anssi Johansson (avji on
freenode/IRC), who also manages our external mirror database and the
ipv6 mirrorlist server.  Anssi is always key to us getting out release
as a valued member of the QA team .. but for this release he was even
more so.

While thanking people .. The entire QA team help tremendously (as
always) .. Specifically very helpful were these non CentOS core team
members:

Akemi Yagi
Anssi Johansson
Manuel Wolfshant
Pablo Greco
John Dennison
Trevor Hemsley
Christoph Galuschka
James O'Connor

And keeping the Community Build System going:
Thomas Oulevey

And someone who always helps me figure out all the build issues:
Tuomo Soini  (Foobar Linux team)

And the rest of the CentOS Core team:
Karanbir Singh
Jim Perrin
Fabian Arrotin
Brian Stinson

There is no way would could have got this release out the door without
each of these people.  (Obviously, if I forgot anyone, feel free to slap
me next time you seem me :D )

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

I did forget a couple of key contributors,

For backporting code for our CentOS 7 i386 kernel (which becomes harder
and harder every release), I would like to specifically thank:

The Springdale Linux Team
Akemi Yagi
Taketo Kabe
Pablo Greco

Also, all of the volunteers who help translate our release notes:
Hajime Taira
Timothy Lee
Inyong Hwang
Hao Lee

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
