Australia's deploying fiber, so joke's on you! But honestly this is horrible. I'm sitting at my desk at a well-peered ISP with plenty of bandwidth and low, low latency and these patches are taking forever. Someone should just add a pre-fetch routine that downloads the first 1000 patches in a tarball, puts them in distfiles, and they well all be verified and the remaining few be fetched normally. Someone should teach upstream a serious lesson about versioning. Maybe someone just needs to fork vim and tag releases on github so we can actually have a sane upstream. Good grief!
