Hi Jan,

I'm only seeding NetBSD 3.1 (all archs), but no Linux so I can't 
compare. What I can give you is values for the downloads for NetBSD 3.1, 
maybe they help comparing.

I started running rtorrent on 24 Nov, 20:48.52. I seed all archs, I'll 
show the most downloaded.

i386cd-3.1.iso 207.7 MB Uploaded:  3031.6 MB
multi-cd1-3.1.iso 682.2 MB Uploaded:  1952.0 MB
sourcecd-3.1.iso 202.7 MB Uploaded:   412.3 MB
macppccd-3.1.iso 176.8 MB Uploaded:   335.9 MB
sparc64cd-3.1.iso 151.2 MB Uploaded:   316.0 MB
* amd64cd-3.1.iso 151.5 MB Uploaded:   152.3 MB
multi-cd2-3.1.iso 561.3 MB Uploaded:    64.9 MB

As you can see, amd64 is by far not _the_ most popular arch, downloaded 
by torrent :)
