Sorry if this has already been requested, but I didn't notice it in the list from the CVS Readme, or other stuff as far as I can tell, and please forgive me if the below one covers this too. Recently Completed *Multiple mirror support, with setup.ini from each merged automagically http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/setup/README?cvsroot=cygwin-app s&rev=2
I am currently in the process of downloading Cygwin using the setup program, and chose multiple mirrors. I know they are getting used if one fails, but it doesn't seem like the setup program stripes the download across multiple sites, which would be nice as it would speed up the download for those of us operating off modems (56k or slower). Perhaps this could be something for modem users as an option. I understand this may not be a very high priority as many people are probably using Broadband now, but I know I would appreciate it, and I imagine many others would too. I know this wouldn't really be much of an issue except that I've noticed in my downloads that I average between 1.7 and 2.6 kb/s on my 56k modem, which is about 1/3 of the rate I could theoretically get. (Most of my downloads for other sites are around 4 to 6 kb/sec.) I figure this is because the sites are so busy, and I figure that striping the downloads could help to speed some people up to help alliviate the sites of those users. Any how, it's just a thought!
