Even if I love Python, the shell is powerfull enough for that. > 1. you can you rsync as well. > http://download.documentfoundation.org/mirroring.html Rsync use far more CPU resource, which I don't feel the need for here. > 2. ftp is better than http in term of error checking In what process? Wget manage errors pretty well, using HTTP/1.1 partial download ability to continue after a network interruption. FTP is also a more complex protocol than HTTP, which I don't feel the need for here either. > 3.

It means that these LibreOffice files, for a total amount of 1,4 GB, are (idealy) being downloaded only _once_ for (idealy) more than 90 millions people. So we are going to reduce their bandwidth threat up to 90 millions downloads (idealy). How come that can be called "sucking" ?? > 4.
