A few notes: the selection of ISO I download is basically what we used to use most often during our LUG meetings back when we had in-person ones where people sometimes asked for help installing things. Now it's mostly a matter of habit and vague hope for the future :D And I don't bother with point releases for the big images, except sometimes for the netist iso if I need it for something at home. That said, these are the images that I'm currently seeding Ratio Name 0.6 debian-10.13.0-amd64-netinst.iso 0.2 debian-11.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso 1.2 debian-12.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso 1.0 debian-12.0.0-i386-netinst.iso 0.5 debian-12.0.0-arm64-DVD-1.iso 0.4 debian-12.0.0-armhf-DVD-1.iso 4.6 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso 3.0 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-standard.iso 4.9 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-xfce.iso 2.8 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-lxqt.iso 2.6 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-lxde.iso 3.8 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-mate.iso 4.7 debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso Since the 12.0.0 images have been downloaded around the same time (and on the same client, of course) I think that their ratio values may be suitable for comparison, and it seems to me that the various live images are worth seeding, the netist just barely so. The two arm images I keep downloading for my (mostly theoretical) use, but are probably not really worth seeding otherwise. of course this excludes all of the other images I don't have, and it may also just mean that I've helped other people who download said images for seeding rather than actually helping distributing debian to users :) -- Elena ``of Valhalla''
