This is the major advantage of using rsync. When you must sync a large number of files, it is *very* efficient. For our purposes, we just care that we can gather all of the necessary files. This can be as simple as downloading the latest manifest and then fetching all changed files within the manifest. This was one of the reasons I had suggested a "last updated" value for the items in the manifest at the microphone at the SIDR meeting. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ Sidr mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
