No worries, happens. As for those numbers you've got, you do realise that just those 2 live images you seed are more popular than regular install iso? And that there are 4 more DE in torrent live images that are about as popular as Cinammon is? Now, calculate how many pissed people that was, because those live images failed to install? And there was some trashing of Debian in some reviews because of those live images. Not that I care much about those reviews personally, I know why I use Debian and why it is my favorite OS. But on the long run, more happy users equals better Debian for us all.
