I think that things that tend to cause net log-jams (just as a new kernel release) should FIRST be put on bittorrent. Can you imagine what bittorrent could do on a large lan, that had a small upstream? Say, some large university remote and poor enough to have a crappy Internet connection. Something to be aware of: the original bittorrent client got messy if it ran out of disk space. Bad error handling. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
