Hi List,

wouldn't it maybe help to at first only release the isos via bittorrent and
add the ftp servers a few days later?

That way all the "I need the new version NOW" people wouldn't rush the ftp
servers, bittorrent would serv up faster (those people usually have hight
bandwiths) and those people that have a bit more patience can download
conveniently from the ftp servers at a later point.

The mirrors would have a bit more time to sync and especially gwdg wouldn't
suffer so much from the first onslaught...

Just an Idea,

Alexander
