Actually, if the ontent is not "secret", then it might be better to rely on a network of mirrors. Add some utilities and installer logic to help balance the load between the mirros well, and you'll actually have ISPs and users mirroring you. If you're popular enough to have this problem, you'll also have enough users with interest to mirror you. E.g: ISPs that want to make the download traffic more effective. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
