The exact amount could be hard to quantify until there is a more consistent number of people downloading it. At the peek times so far there have only been about two or three people downloading it, this will change when I make a public announcement about the image file.
For now the only people that know about the FLOSS-CD are the Alberta LUG members. I want to keep it that way until we have more static BitTorrentServers setup.
Anyone that wants to help out by running a static BitTorrentServer can do so using their dynamic IP home Internet. The static refers to the fact that their system is able to continue serving the ISO's even after a reboot or an IP change.
Home Windows users can also help out by running the BitTorrent client program and restarting it every time their computer boots.
