I wouldn't mind that at all.

I don't have that much bandwidth, but in any event, if we could remove
about 40% of the load from
	get i386.tar
by nuking those 'splits' files, and 'boot.fs.gz' things, it'd improve the
response of the ftp site for everyone.

It's taken me several hours to start grabbing the 1.4.1 distribution sets.
(Of course, it doesn't help that, these days, I want alpha, i386, macppc,
mac68k, and sparc.)

Hey, is anyone doing CD's of NetBSD releases these days?
