Good point... but that bandwidth usage is limited to the initial
uploads (one time per release), and the mirror updates.

I think the savings of 100+MB per download from hundreds of
thousands of downloads would trump that pretty quick... ?



No, because our problem is not bandwith but total space at the
mirrors.

We have enough mirrors, so that we can easily share bandwith (and
mirrorbrain ensures that downloads are spread across mirrors).

But mirrors do not offer unlimited disk space. The more disk space we
use, the less mirrors would be willing to host our binaries. (But
things may change)


Ah, I see now... thanks...



Out of curiosity, do you have mirrors set up for Canada?

Good point... but that bandwidth usage is limited to the initial uploads
(one time per release), and the mirror updates.

I think the savings of 100+MB per download from hundreds of thousands of
downloads would trump that pretty quick... ?

On the other hand creating, building, uploading and hosting up to 200MB
per language looks like much more expensive.

Also - and I know the process is still being worked out and will be for
a while, but...

Will individual language based downloads be available again sometime in
the future? Or is there only going to the the one monolithic 'multi'? We
only need the en_us version, and I'm sure lots of others only need their
language, so everyone downloading 318MB seems like a huge waste of
bandwidth...

Thanks guys!

I had already downloaded this yesterday (about 2:00pm)...

Was the Quickstarter bug fixed and the b2 reissued? Or does the problem
still exist in the current available download?
