So think "wget". I'm not entirely convinced wget is going to be an efficient way to synchronize and fetch your tree, its simplicitly is great though. It's a tradeoff between optimzing and re-using existing tools (like webservers). Perhaps that's why you were compressing the stuff too? It sounds better not to compress the stuff on-disk, and to synchronize with a rsync-like protocol (rsync server would make it) that handles the compression in the network protocol itself, and in turn that can apply compression to a large blob (i.e. the diff between the trees), and not to the single tiny files. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
