If you can get the files on the LibreOffice distribution servers, then
they are automatically replicated
around the world to the different LibreOffice mirrors.
I think this would be the straightforward solution.

One thing you can do is provide a list of the files in the ISO, along
with filesize.
I am interested to see what exactly is inside the ISOs.
If you already created a Wiki page for this, please direct me to it.

Several web hosting providers offer 'unlimited bandwidth'. You can get
people to offer
part of this unlimited bandwidth (my webhosting offers me 'unlimited',
which I would love
to put it to use).

I am new to this DVD ISO discussion and I do not know the details
(what is included in the ISO,
individual file sizes, etc), so please give as much details as possible.
If we can position this ISO as the official distribution files for offline use,
then it's easy to get the on the libreoffice download servers, and
then they are mirrored for free around the world.
