I have no idea... I know on the download side my 3MB DSL seems to be "enough". I do a lot of test building in mock and it does a good job of caching packages. On the upload side though It's pretty bad. 384Kbit, and I can only allow about 200Kbit or DNS resolving gets VERY slow. If we can get distributed building working though, I might be willing to upgrade my service a bit. I'm proposing we start working on a package, called something like "rpmfusion-builder" to make setting things up as easy as possible. Can someone (Jarod?) reply with a summery of what's involved in setting one up? Thanks, Richard
