Is this only a concern when building without an existing tahoe installation? Ideally, we should eat our own dogfood, and when downloading dependencies, download them from a repository over native tahoe protocols, and the protocols should handle a slow host already. Of course, if you need dependencies, you likely don't have tahoe in the first place, in which case, why not just put everthing in on a well-maintained apache server and avoid the 'slow source' issue. _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
