[Fink-devel] Parallel URL fetcher

2002-05-10 Thread Ben Hines
Just checked in puf, a parallel URL fetching utility. We might consider it as a downloader for fink. To solve the "what if one fails?" problem we could check to see if the files exist in src after puf exits. -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/
