Thank you very much for the feedback here guys! I believe we will drop the DVDs for now and see where that leaves us. Tru: Please change us to DVD=No.
Why dont you look at your logs and see where the traffic is ? Perhaps an ISP has started using your mirror as a 'local asset' ? a polite email to them might help.
httpd access logs are inaccurate, unless you are using mod_logio or similar; they'll show a complete download amount for partial downloads, which causes AWstats and Webalizer to become *massively* inaccurate.
We had a situation with mirror.bytemark.co.uk a couple of months ago where someone was grabbing the first 1.5MB of a DVD ISO to test connectivity over their wireless mesh networks, over the course of 2-3 months it looked to Webalizer like they'd transferred >10TB.
Reality: bandwidth graphs of the switchport do not correlate, contacting them was fruitful, default access_log has serious flaws.
