Some ports have fairly large distfiles. For some of these I am probably happy to wait for my subscription CD. For others, I would like them sooner, but I'm concerned about the time to download. If I have an older distfile, is there any rsync magic I can do to reduce traffic? If I've already got 80% of the distfile, it would sure be nice to fetch only the changed bits... Any chance of getting some of these files via an rsynchd server? -- Christopher Vance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
