The final release will bring a network saturation at ftp5.gwdg.de I guess 
(1 GBit/sec), but neither any beta nor rc1 did.

The last saturation was friday/saturday last week during the daytime (not 
at night) because a new version of opensource-dvd was released 
(www.opensource-dvd.de - 3.8 GB open source software for Micro$oft 
systems).

The last time before that was in second half of june for just one 
or two daytimes, release of OpenSUSE-11.0.
