We're currently planning to produce the following media for
installation:
* 5 CDs, you need CDs 1-3 for a normal installation with just GNOME or
KDE (any language)
* 1 AddOn CD with only binary packages on it
* 1 AddOn CD with language packages that are used for our tier 2
languages (tier 1 languages are english, french, italian, spanish,
german, chinese, japanese and czech - and support for those is on
the standard 5 CDs) (the 5 CDs have support for installation in
*all* languages, just extra packages are only on this extra media)
* 1 DVD containing the contents of the above 7 media (the DVD will
only come with the final version to save bandwidth and mirror space)
I agree with all the others, but only partial with this one.
I think that one idea that has been mentioned, and that it would work
rather well, is to also distribute the DVD for all the alfa/beta stages,
but only through torrent. This way you wouldn't waste bandwidth with your
mirros, you would actually save some bandiwidth, and you would make many
people happy in just recording one media device to do all the beta tests.
* a FTP tree with open source packages (only for the final version)
* a FTP tree with binary packages (only for the final version)
The DVD we delivered with Alpha5 has the content of the above
mentioned DVD,

Bittorrent or bitdrip as I call it penalises everyone, a very bad
suggestion.
Who would be penalized by this and how? Could you please elaborate on your
repl
The way it is now, there is no DVD during beta testing at all. And remember, I
am only talking about the DVD during beta testing.

In my expeeeerince of bittorrent in downloading CD's, it takes days to
get a set, whereas using ftp it's a matter of hours using a 10M cable
broadband link. However I have set download/upload weights, it's been
just too slow. If that is not the common experience, I would like to
know the proper setup.

Sid.
