Considering that to download a release it now takes all day instead of 30 minutes, it substantially increases the chances of a failure and that multiple attempts will have to be made, which increases the overall bandwidth requirements rather than decreasing them. It also increases the number of simultanous downloads that are occuring. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
