What happens today when #1 finishes compiling? It starts and waits for #2 to finish downloading. It would be the same, just a little faster. Instead of starting #2 from the begining, it would already be started, and would just need to wait for it to finish. This would benefit mostly big packages (like X or kde*), that take a lot of time to compile. While it compiles a 13mb tbz2, there's plenty of time to download the rest of needed packages. -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ UIN: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil |
