Good point MRAB... thanks for making it. I started to wonder the same thing, but it took me a couple hours away from working on it and a good dinner before I saw that... Yeah, looking at it freshly now, I agree, I think I probably would be better off running them one at a time. The goal is to update several directories of ISO images with nightly builds. I can use rsync and only download images that are changed, or I can use zsync and only download diffs (I believe that's how it works) which is faster anyway. The only reason I was considering doing them all simultaneously, or in batches at least, is that I have to update 10 - 12 ISOs daily... BUT, now that I look at it from your perspective, yeah, it would probably be faster overall to do them one at a time instead because of the bottleneck. Thanks! That helped a lot (and probably saved me a lot of headache later on) :-) Cheers Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
