Is it perhaps that way because its easier for you to maintain/append ? I'm getting towards the end of something like a 16 hour download of this file and I've only got one phone line to the house so the people I share with aren't happy :-) Can they be split in some way so that you can download it in batches, I could have grabbed a chunk each night then when people have gone to bed. Apart from that, I'm constantly on edge in case freefall drops the connection and 16 hours is wasted..... Not that I'm ever going to do this again now I'm almost in sync but other people will run into this problem when they need to bootstrap ctm. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.
