For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if you have a "fat" pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers.
I have a "chubby" pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly earlier today.
If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that you also use that feature.
Sharing as fast as I can, never seen this kind of activity before, it's like a shark feeding frenzy... The CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD torrent I'm seeding says the share ratio is 40928, and rapidly increasing. That can't possibly be right, can it??
Have to cap the upload speed to 25kBps during work hours, or my computer would be unusable. Maybe I should move this seeding to a CentOS-machine instead...
DHT is enabled over here as well.
Hi there,
there's really some traffic going on torrent-wise:
[View: main] CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD done 3787,1 MB Rate: 928,2 / 0,0 KB Uploaded: 142450,0 MB
[View: main] CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD done 4346,3 MB Rate: 194,7 / 0,0 KB Uploaded: 100310,6 MB
;)
[both have a upload limit of 2Mbps, which is sometimes hit.]
Cheers,
Timo

For those who are insatiably curious,

It gets really interesting at certain times.

According to wifey, I'm one of those insatiably curious ones. ;-) Anyway, that's a lot of data being shuffled! You don't see that kind of TB-amounts everyday, at least I don't.
