Hello Josip,
I do not understand what are you mean...
If peoples downloading the DVDs like me, maybe we need them for Off-Line
usage? Currently I am downloading ALL DVDs and CDs from 4.0r4.
Since there are many peoples useing different architectures and of
course, they can buy the DVD/CD at me... Of course, they can buy the
DVDs separately...
If you have problems handling the traffic, maybe you should consider
mirroring the images?
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
