[CentOS-devel] irc meeting today re: 5.6/6.0

You may also consider doing what I believe has been done on this project
once or twice before. (maybe it was a different project, its been a while)
When the iso is ready, put the torrent(s) out with only a 95% seed. I can
seed 20Mbs  24/365 and as shown already, many of us have this kind of
bandwidth to share. If 5.6 and 6 are done at the same time get 5.6 on the
mirror and start seeding 6, doing this would encourage people to use the
torrent to get it as early as possible and since it can't 100% done yet,
many would end up seeding longer than usual waiting for the other 5%. This
would take a lot of load off the mirrors and when you are happy with the
mirrors, release the other 5% of the seed and put the isos on the mirrors.
