But - it should be an option for those who do want to use it, and are willing to open the required ports on firewalls, etc. However, I suspect that you'll see users running it long enough to download whichever files they are interested in & then stopping it. Until there is a way around this I don't see it as an answer. I'd actually like to see public web-cache like machines that interface directly with the gentoo mirrors & hold the most requested files. I don't see that as a longterm solution though. -- .~. Terry Churchill : [EMAIL PROTECTED] .''`. /V\ ICQ : 256731870 : :' : /(_)\ http://www.doc-linux.co.uk/ `. `'` ^ ^ `-
