If you could "teach" portage to fetch pieces (like some other tools do) from different mirrors till you saturate your line, your download would be considerably faster (all your band would be used). So, lets say I can use a program and tell it to use the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable to download various pieces of the same file (reaching the mirror servers limit and after a while your band limit), this would ensure you would always use the max band you can... I think I saw some tool over the net that could do that... Maybe wget itself.... /me go read the man pages... -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
