If you can - you should. The costs of running those torrents at 100mbps
is way too high to run over any sustained period of time ( and they are
all offline now ). So once the first rush has spread out - the whole
user experience is totally driven by the other users part of the deluge.
Normally, I'd keep 1 machine running from within .centos.org to make
sure there was always atleast 1 seed for each of the torrents. And that
machine runs only at 10mbps, for all the torrents and is also a part of
other services within centos.org
