Re: woody Release files changing

Hi
I saw this "problem" also for quite a long time now. I always wondered
if it was my proxy having problems with the files. But about the size of
the files I would definitely disagree: The biggest file is 1.7 MB
together with all the others it's about 2.5 MB if I am not wrong. Ok,
via DSL this takes only a glimpse. But via modem it would be very
anoying downloading package descriptions for seeing that nothing had
changed. On the other hand, this will cause also a lot of traffic:
Imagine: Some 10'000 people accessing these files twice a week. This
would give something like 20 GB traffic per week that would not be
necessary. I don't have any numbers of the traffic on the debian ftp
servers nor it's mirrors, but I would guess, this bug could make a
remarkable amount of it.
Just my thoughts...
Cheers
Marcel

it again though, and since the files are tiny, it's not a high priority
to fix.
Cheers,
