If you don't mind running (and debugging) experimental code.. Has a particularly hard time with round-robin mirrors not being in-sync, or (I think) occationally a mirror not supporting rsync access at all. Also has trouble with over-returning to the client. FE will return 5MB of a 200k deb.. And it requires rsync access to the repository. Despite all this, I did find it working a bit better on my dialup connection than squid was. Oh yeah, you'll want to give it a big cache, too. It doesn't seem to be able to clean its own cache properly. -- Ferret
