I'm curious why 4.4 release generated so much bandwidth - the 4.3 wasn't
nearly as spectacular - ftp2 did may be 30Mb at peaks. With 4.4 (after I
upped the membufs) it's been steady 99Mbps and it only eased off beetween
5am and 9am EDT.

One theory I have is that many people are trying to download all the ISO
images, and streaming a huge file the server can saturate the link a lot
more efficiently.

Another theory is that suddenly more people want to install FreeBSD. :-)

Do other mirror operators think this release was unusually bandwidth
intensive?
