Given that downloads like Debian ISOs are already putting a heavy bandwidth load on the servers and that they are already shared among many servers, I don't think it is a good idea to encourage users to load several servers at once with one download. We should instead push bittorrent as the main distribution media for ISOs. -- .''`.
