Upto the removal of the separate CDs ISOs, I used to download the deltas
using FTP and start sharing them. Then I applied the deltas to create
the full CDs and started sharing those.
With the removal of the CD ISOs, I had to download the full DVD ISO.
Since then I've gone back to the "download delta, start sharing it,
apply delta, start sharing full DVD"[0].
Being distinctly lazy, I configured Azureus to auto-start torrents in a
particular directory and then scripted everything so all I need to do is
start it off and go to bed. By the time I get up the following morning,
the full DVD ISO is ready and the both the delta and full ISO are
already being shared.
[0] Well, this time I've also got the Gnome and KDE CDs being shared as
well since I had a play about with them and makeSUSEdvd to add the
Packman repo right from the start. I would have added Guru as well, but
the 10.3 repo is empty and the beta2 installation crashed when it was
enabled :| Got to have another go and see if they've fixed that bug.
