that's the problem, gert... how many times does it need to be sent out?? if
it is alpha or beta code, DON'T sent it... if it is release code, then send
it once and not over and over and over again... do you know how long it
takes to send that danged thing out at 768k upload speed?

so far this month alone, we've gotten four editions of that specific
file... one on the 2nd, 4th, 8th and then the 18th... on my connection,
each one took ~10 minutes to arrive... it takes ~4 times as long to send it
out and that's not counting overhead or other traffic in the pipe which
will increase the upload time... so roughly 40 minutes to upload to one
uplink... if there's two uplinks, that's already ~90 minutes with no other
traffic being sent... can you see the problem yet??
