What's the story on '*default compress' - is it "better" to compress even on a fast connection, or does that overhead tax the cvsup server? I want to be as kind to the cvsup servers as possible, am not in a big hurry, and have both CPU and bandwidth to spare at the time cvsup is going to run. But I also want to have "reasonably" current src, ports, and doc. If there's a burden to shoulder, I want it to be mine and not the cvsup server's - I've had near zero trouble with the server I target, and will do what I can to keep it that way. Any examples of what people are doing, and most importantly why you're doing it that way, would be much appreciated. -=Jim=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
