I don't have any hard data since I don't actually have access to the logs on the web server. Anecdotally, the torrents tend to have ratios between 1 and 2 from my side, but they're rarely higher than that. They haven't been popular, but it's all scripted so it's not a horrible inconvenience to continue creating them. It's also handy for me to have a local copy that I don't have to download manually. BTW, I just checked... My 10-15 set filled up the disk I download them to, so I haven't been seeding them personally. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
