For downloading files, the clients access the normal public Gentoo mirrors but because all clients share the same directory, files that some client has already downloaded are also available for every other client. Therefore they will not be downloaded twice. The only possible problem with this approach is that two clients might attempt to download the same file at the same time. Just make sure to start your updates at different times to avoid this. Hope this makes it a bit clearer, Florian Philipp --------------enigBFD4CDEA5FC89D853854B054 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2sT/QACgkQqs4uOUlOuU996ACfV8GHq9+ii9DlkKct4qaKplOL Be4AnRqbWEpVp/HwhK4s9qdpTFaCKHvz =UsAW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigBFD4CDEA5FC89D853854B054--
