Lousy? Really awful. Makes it unworkable especially if you have a lot
of servers to copy to. We've had to adjust the install script and pull
from an http server first and then run the install script but that's
a pain. cfengine is _MUCH_ better at this.

Well I wait for that change as the current design is just unworkable
for large files. And 40MB is not really that large.
