Even if the rtt's are below 2 seconds, the line from the german educational network to US is heavily overloaded during the week, so up to 50 % of the packets get lost, resulting in effective echo times of up to a minute. > Many bug reports give only a special case of the bug.

Since listeners of -bugs do already get all the necessary information, it should be possible to track all the gnats reports and state changes and finally make a local mirror. Together with a mail interface, this would make the usage more efficient. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
