Good guess about CPU time, it is mostly about bandwidth. All the servers will house the same files, so they will all need the exact same updates. That coupled with a high latency network connecting those servers means that I need a way of sending just a small prepackaged file that contains all of the changes to the servers. I am reading the link to the e-mail you sent, but I haven't seen anything yet. I will keep reading the threads though. Patch may work, but does it handle binary files? I am not that familiar with it.
