I personaly use prozilla for fetching. This tool can find mirrors for a source and downloads from the fastes one. Additionaly it downloads the package parallel in portions. I get the maximum download speed most times. But it has a ugly ncurses based interface. I think Philipe is enhancing our fetch function at the moment. And we decided to use prozilla for default. wget does a good job in most cases, but here it sometimes hangs after downloading a big source and I must CTRL-C it. achim~ > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
