It's definitely easier on the servers disks I think :) The anongit servers haven't had any issues with load as far as I can remember, so I think it's safe in this case for kdesrc-build to use normal git:// or https:// clones. If nobody objects in the next 24 hours i'd like to go ahead with discontinuing the tarballs. > > Regards, > - Michael Pyne Cheers, Ben
