Yes, that is another thing. And it is probably not good for the disc to move around every 2 seconds all day long.
You're kidding, right? That's virtually an idle drive.
This is a _laptop_, so these disc accesses mean that I hear a 'click' every 2 seconds. It is truly annoying if you are trying to concentrate on something (e.g. reading documentation). In summary, seeding a DVD causes the following problems - noise due to disc head moving - performance problems (waste of fs-cache, disc accesses) - keeps disc busy (no sleep mode, disc will fail sooner) And these issues should get worse the more upstream bandwidth one has. Someone with a bit more bandwidth than me would hear his laptop make a click every second or even several clicks per second. All day long.
