Yes, that is another thing. And it is probably not good for the disc
to move around every 2 seconds all day long.
You're kidding, right? That's virtually an idle drive.
This is a _laptop_, so these disc accesses mean that I hear a 'click'
every 2 seconds. It is truly annoying if you are trying to concentrate
on something (e.g. reading documentation).
In summary, seeding a DVD causes the following problems
- noise due to disc head moving
- performance problems (waste of fs-cache, disc accesses)
- keeps disc busy (no sleep mode, disc will fail sooner)
And these issues should get worse the more upstream bandwidth one has.
Someone with a bit more bandwidth than me would hear his laptop make a
click every second or even several clicks per second. All day long.
