No worries, happens. As for those numbers you've got, you do realise
that just those 2 live images you seed are more popular than regular
install iso? And that there are 4 more DE in torrent live images that
are about as popular as Cinammon is? Now, calculate how many pissed
people that was, because those live images failed to install? And there
was some trashing of Debian in some reviews because of those live
images. Not that I care much about those reviews personally, I know why
I use Debian and why it is my favorite OS. But on the long run, more
happy users equals better Debian for us all.
