I think a lot of people would also be happy with releasing .torrent's 
for C6 into the wild, at first for those of us monitoring this list 
eager to deploy C6, even if there are not much seeders. The number of 
people interested in this release will be great and many will become 
temporary seeders. I my self have 5Mbps of upload bandwidth. 20 of us 
can replace one 100Mbps seeder.

This approach would circumvent a wait for mirrors to settle down, so if 
you find your self with ready ISO's please consider releasing .torrent's 
even without mirrors.
