[CentOS-mirror] CentOS-6 CDs decision needs some stats

[Bill Glick]

Here are some stats from mirror.ncsa.illinois.edu for the past few months.  I don't have any useful stats before that, since our current server came online in mid-February.  

Hits of CD & DVD ISOs:

Month     5-CD    5-DVD   4-CD   4-DVD
Jun 2011   146     2888    220      58
May 2011   484     6409    612   10404 
Apr 2011  1920     1060    556  234565
Mar 2011  4943    10086    690  384329
Feb 2011   454      409    397     188


My data seems to support your decision, especially since it would take 4-8 hits to download all the CDs, vs. 1-2 hits to download the DVD ISOs.  I'm puzzled why the CentOS-4 DVDs appear to be so disproportionately popular.
