 I think there is 2 factors :

 - we didn't planned to have so much people interested by yet another 
 linux distribution,
 especially when there is nothing special ( and no finished design ). I 
 guess we didn't say
 loudly enough "this is not interesting, this is just to start the work" 
 :). I think we will
 do better next time in term of planning, a area were we should 
 definitly improve.

 - it was not planned to have a mandriva mirror breakage the same day,
 forcing lots of mandriva mirrors to download again 0.5 To of data from 
 d-c

 See the graph for bandwidth : 
 http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/munin/distrib-coffee/distrib-coffee/ifqospkt_bond0.html
 1:1211 is the rsync traffic, and as you can see, there is a peak since 
 14/02, and this reduced the
 bandwith for 1:1212, the http/ftp traffic ( I have to read the qos 
 script written by Nanar to
 have this information, do not search much on the graphic )

 Hopefully, this will be better once everybody will have synced the 
 missing part.
