That’s weird. What sort of network connection is the replication using? Is this over a LAN (WiFi or Ethernet), a wider-range Internet connection, a cell network…? Basically the slower / laggier / flakier the network is, the more roadblocks are thrown in the way of the replicator. It should still work reliably, though, so what you’re describing sounds like a bug; a dozen tiny databases should be able to replicate in a few seconds unless there are major network issues. (Disclaimer: I am not familiar with the replicator implementation in CouchDB itself, although I have implemented compatible replicators so I know the protocol well.) —Jens
