Unfortunately, that is already the case today. I have a local mirror via gigabit as I build multiple livecd images on a daily basis. For the KDE flavour, this takes less than two minutes for downloading the packages, but about 5 minutes for unpacking them. This is done on a reasonable fast i386 machine (3.2ghz, 1gb ram, two 250gb barracudas in raid0). Now, if we change from gzip to a slower algorithm, the unpack part will take even more time for this :/ -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
