[appologies for the cross-post]
Isn't it ironic that after 3 years of developing EDG for handling the
distribution of large volumes of data the mechanism used to deploy the
several gigs of LCG software is to "wget" the files using HTTP?
Ian.
[of course it is a bootstrapping problem, but it does feel as if things
could have been improved if the file links were "ftp://..." instead of
"http://..."]
