I don't know that acronym, but if you ask me when it should happen:
_Before_ the next big thing is released, e.g. before 2.6.20-final.
Reason: You never know how long they're chewing [downloading] on 2.6.20.
Excluding other projects on kernel.org from my hypothesis, I'd suppose the
lowest bandwidth usage the longer no new files have been released. (Because
everyone has them then more or less.)
