I'm with Sebb here. Yes, our release process is a PITA, but what Sebb is asking for is what I expect as well. If you want me to evaluate a RC and VOTE, please make my life and that of all the other reviewers, easier, not harder. Sometimes, I download the src zip and build, sometimes, I checkout the tag... FWIW, it should take a few minutes to transfer a site. Zip it, transfer it, unzip it. One file at a time is asking for problems IMO. Or are you saying that it takes hours to transfer even as a Zip?
