Does CentOS announce (new versions) to everyone simultaneously ? If so, perhaps it might be better to 'pre-announce' to various mirrors & let them get everything loaded, then do the full public announcement ....
I can't say for sure with the mirrors, but those of us who were going to seed the torrent were downloading the night before the announcement so that when it hit, everyone would be going from a running start.
