I don't think that that 150MB would account for 2.98GB of traffic. That would amount to only 150MB of international traffic as it was downloaded. The cvsup server in question accepts only domestic clients (this restriction is accomplished via a filter which occurs upstream). But thanks for the apology. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
