reassign 498475 snmp-mibs-downloader
thanks

Hi Marco,

Indeed, I work next door to a major internet exchange and downloading
everything with snmp-mibs-downloader was still unacceptably slow.
It is also a very bad practice to distribute a package which will
automatically download files from web sites of third parties, both
because they could become unreachable over the life of the package and
because the people managing them may not like the additional traffic.

I'm thinking about including an archive containing the RFCs required to
extract the MIBs to the downloader package and leave it optional to the
user to update the IANA MIBs to the newest ones from the Internet.

Thanks,
Jochen
