Nice one --- cdimage.d.o is rather more relaxed now, because I've set
the connection limit down to 10, so the load is now around 3 rather
than 30

Despite that, it's still producing around 7Mbit/s of traffic on its
10Mbit LAN, so there seems little point increasing that limit, since
it will only mean that there will be more people getting images more
slowly.

Hopefully, this means that people are actually getting copies of the
images now -- if not, mail me, and I'll limit it even more.

BTW the Alpha images are now available.

If you are one of the lucky 10, I do hope you're not grabbing an images
that's available to you from another mirror, because that would not be
a clever use of resources.

Cheers, Phil.
