Hi,
I run the mirror mirrors.laffeycomputer.com. I notcie that a good number
of people are too ignorant to read the documentation first, and they
download ALL the files within the directory of a particular release.
I bet you could save yourself and the mirrors (and the users) some
bandwidth by placing all of the individual files that are included in the
main tarball (e.g. gcc-3.3.tar.gz) into a subfolder called something like
"separate_components". This way, most people would not download them along
with the full tarball.
Just a thought. Thanks for GCC!
