Either you have SVN set up incorrectly or the problem isn't really 'not local' but your Internet link. All of our stuff sits in a managed DC and we actually VPN in to our core company network, and that is where SVN resides. I regularly get over a meg a second doing a checkout. I just did a checkout on a project I've not touched in a while and got 40.71 megabytes in 38 seconds - as a mixture of small files and large. I'd hardly call that glacially slow. I'd actually call that pretty damned quick all things considered. I just asked it for a revision graph in the documentation folder of the same project (at revision 542) and it only took 6 seconds. -- *David Connors* | da...@codify.com | www.codify.com Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
