I don't know how much it happens for Fedora, but for MDV, there are significant communities in countries with mainly slow internet connections, where one person who had a fast connection through work or an education institution or something like that would download the images, and burn and distribute copies to many other people. Sometimes I even shipped out copies of the MDV live CD to such 'seeders' in places like this myself, who would then duplicate them for dozens of other people in the country / city / whatever. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
