Hi Jeroen, (1) I use it since ages to mirror ftp sites; (2) I like its simple output, very good usable for logging of automated syncs; (3) I'm familiar with this style of project and source code, as well as used libraries, I can fix possible problems myself without much effort; (4) I don't think the solution to the 'big archive/big Packages file problem' is to exclude good quality packages even if they implement functionality already provided by other packages. Choice is good. Thanks, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
