Thanks for the response. Out of curiosity based on your responses, technically, how would you describe csup to be faster than cvsup with a properly configured supfile over a 100Mbps Internet connection? Understand I'm not being disrespectful, I truly want to know how/why it's faster. Is it a coding thing? AFAICT, all it does is diff files that one has and download the changes, right? Or is it just because it's in the base now? (I haven't tried to see if it's in the base, but from what I know now, it is ;) Steve
