Sure, I don't run a CPAN mirror, but I do manage many, many terrabytes of storage as part of my day job. I think it's a tad presumptuous to disregard input just because we're not in your inner sanctum. As I mentioned in a follow up e-mail: this is simply a matter of selecting the correct problem domain. I believe that streamlining the mirroring process will provide greater gains for less effort. That's not to say that pursuing other efficiencies isn't worthwhile, just that you need to prioritize. But what the hell do I know. I don't run a *CPAN* mirror, so I must be freaking clueless... --Arthur Corliss Live Free or Die
