I forgot most files were mirrored. So the infrastructure that is the answer to my question is already in place. Consequently, I don't think there's any reason to argue against this, unless it ultimately ends up being a ton of work to package small files (which I can't comment on).

As I have tried to impress upon this list, I am not very smart, but I do genuinely mean well. I will try to not make people so angry in the future. Cheers, R0b0t1
