Since the ports system already knows all the sources for any given file, if you use paraget to retrieve the file, it will retrieve faster because it's coming from multiple sites, and the bottleneck will be at the client, not at the server's end now. This will work very similar to how p2p systems work now. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
