When CVSup is fetching entirely new files, it can't do anything much
smarter than compress them.  It can't avoid moving the bits from point
A to point B.  In the case of egcs, that's a lot of bits.

But six hours and sixteen minutes?  That's awfully slow.  You must
have had a really bad link that day.  I'd try a few different mirror
sites if I were you.
