It may be easier to enable a bittorrent server on a mirror. A good client will recompute all the chunks' hashes (message digests) upon restart if a power failure should occur. Hopefully the protocol is not prohibited by your ISP or jurisdiction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)#Creating_and_publishing_torrents Cheers, Don -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
