My pleasure.

I have a few locations with very poor bandwidth outside the our
metropolitan ring, so I have I machine that holds about 12G of distfiles
and does cvsup and fetch the distfiles for i386 a few times/day, so  I
usually spot fetching problems quicker that bento/kris ( or is it right
kris/bento ? :) )
