indeed. As of 7:35pm PDT Monday, the CentOS5 torrents have downloaded...
5.0 i386 DVD - 10679 times, 36.1 terabytes
5.0 x86_64 DVD - 3422 times, 13.34 terabytes
5.0 i386 6 CD set - 1958 times, 6.62 terabytes
5.0 x86_64 7 CD set - 379 times, 1.47 terabytes
grand total: 16438 complete downloads, and 57.5 terabytes.
thats a LOTTA transit bandwidth taken off of the mirrors. This is
entirely since Thursday AM, i.e. in the last ~ 4 days.
note they use the decimal version of tera here, or 1,000,000,000,000
Some of that is available to people here from 3fl.net and probably
ftp.iinet.net.au, but because they won't serve (they pay for that too)
the world you won't help us find them.
Do you seriously want to reduce the load? It's in your hands.
And before you try it, I don't think the Ubuntu scheme (testing the for
the fastest link) works, and nor, as far as I can see, does geo ip. I'm
on WAIX, but WAIX isn't good for everyone in Perth, Western Australia.
