I was only adding a comment that one of the mirror owners made. The checking of the MD5 signature was supposed to be the limiting factor. The mirrors have a limited amount of resources to do the calculations on their end and each connection adds a load. That seemed to be what consumed the resources. When cvsup7 was loaded (~20 users), a cvsup required 20 minutes or so. When it was really lightly loaded, I could cvsup 4-stable in 90 seconds. > > >> Local box is a K6-2 450 acting merely as NAT gateway (and development box, > >> of course, but during cvsup, make world doesn't make much sense ;-). > > I can't imagine doing a build while you are cvsuping.

The only thing I haven't been willing to do is an installworld (make world or etc) before I build my kernel. When the buildworld failed for me, it also failed at the same place for a number of other people. So far, I haven't had a kernel fail to build.
