However, it is within the realm of feasibility to pre-package patches in batches of 100 (or conversely 1 tarball of patches rolled for every time patch count hits multiple of 100). At the very, very least maybe only HTTP hosts are listed for VIM (I just checked bsd.sites.mk, the ftp sites are all at the end of the list now) It looks like some of this was addressed in January though: ==================================================================== Revision 309899 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs] Modified Thu Jan 3 17:38:30 2013 UTC (4 months, 3 weeks ago) by rm File length: 63730 byte(s) Diff to previous 309846 - sync list of vim mirrors with official list on http://www.vim.org/mirrors.php - remove dead vim sites - remove vim sites with missing files - remove slow vim sites (> 10 seconds to serve a file) after repeated complaints by blakkheim (I'm not sure what's that) PR: 174875 Submitted by: 4721@hushmail.com ==================================================================== I may have still been on the old bsd.sites.mk with a site > 10 seconds per file. (this is yet another data point) so maybe the situation is much better now.
