We've gone ahead with the network release of TeX Live 2010. It is now or will be soon available from CTAN sites (http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive). As with last year, we recommend doing a network install in one way or another instead of downloading the large (2gb) ISO -- http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html.
Package updates will start propagating in another day or two.
If anyone notices stale or missing information on the TL web pages, or problems with the release, please report as usual.
MacTeX 2010 has also been released and is available from CTAN. Its web pages will be updated soon.
The TeX Collection DVD will be released as soon as possible; hopefully, it will go out in October. Issues with it (unrelated to TL) made me decide it was not desirable to delay the TL release any longer.
i believe ctan and its mirrors have more or less settled down with the new release.
