Just a quick question. I have been sharing CenOS 5.0 and 5.1 since I down loaded them. Now we are on to 5.2 is it still worth sharing them or can I archive them to DVD and save some hard drive space?
I removed my 5.1 torrents couple of days ago, and only kept the most release (5.2) recent seeding 24/7 at work.
Ppl still downloaded from them like crazy (had about 250kbps on each x64 and x86 DVD:s) on last monday for the past months or so, so you might want to seed those a bit longer if you can. Maybe I should keep seeding 5.1 as well for another while...
I share the latest for a *long* time. During the period after major update release, I share only the latest. The rational for this is that the greatest demand will be for the latest, I have only a home connection with limited upload bandwidth and it is most beneficial allocated to where there is anticipated highest demand and greatest number of benefiting users.
After a while, I add back in older releases.
