That's actually my point. Geographically distributed mirrors that are a little out of sync are much more valuable (IMO) than a centralized service that is absolutely up to date, but "far" away. For me the static/dynamic argument is more about stability, and central/distributed is more about (network) speed. -- Benji York http://benjiyork.com _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
