IIRC, one case was several gigs of data-files for some game or other. It was legal to redistribute, but several gigs of files was thought too much for the mirrors, for a single game only a small fraction of gentoo users would be interested in. Additionally, the game data wasn't likely to change as development had long since ceased, so it tended to be a one- time download, meaning even users that used it would probably only do so once. It's quite possible that some bit of that is incorrect, however. Perhaps someone from games can confirm/correct as necessary. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
