I can authorize them at the tracker, but I don't have the diskspace

The Beta release is listed as the first option on the D-I page [1] for
people wanting to install lenny.
ATM the weeklies are even not listed at all to "encourage" people to use the
Beta. The weeklies will be added back on the page after two weeks or so.
Ok, I didn't know that. I just asked when the beta images were published
if I should drop weekly torrents in favour of betas and got a "no". If
that's not the case, I can drop the weeklies and mirror up the beta images
instead.
In line with the discussion about what (iso) images to produce for lenny, I
think that as long as diskspace is an issue here, we need to be smarter
about prioritizing bittorrent seeds too.
Having popular images seeded for _both_ the beta and weeklies is (at least
IMNSHO) much more important than having all weekly images for all
architectures seeded.
For bittorrent seeding it is very easy to mirror down a whole directory
structure and seed all isos in there. So this will either easily follow a
reduction in the full isos available, or require some kind of
black/white-listing of "good" images to torrent (plus some code).
