Some very ball-park figures based on a test CD build.
~ size of Hurd archive 4554 packages - 2.2GB
Number of hurd-i386.deb's, 2128
So volume of hurd-i386.deb's = 1 GB
(assuming similar average package sizes for hurd-i386.deb's and all.deb's)
If we are allowed to upload an average of 50 MB per day then it would take
20 days to reestablish the hurd archive.
e&oe (errors and omissions excepted). Probably an over estimation of
volume to be uploaded.
My 56k modem could cope with this. Panic over.
Phil.
