Hi,
sitting here during a system-update and watching source tarball
download I got an idea:
What about a database where a source tarball (+gz, +bz2) is located,
and depending on local ip / routing information download it from
the nearest server.
Because I know that many ISP's favour that data packets do not
leave their own backbone, so most of them have own mirror servers.
Depending on such a list and a list of available mirror servers
for a special package it sould be possible to find a better
"near-server-location".
Kind regards,
--
