Actually, the November bandwidth used was *down* (25G) from the October bandwidth used (33G). Some of this is due to the fact that someone else has taken on creating F8's x86_64 deltarpms, so I no longer have those downloads coming through. I think the rest might be due to people being scared off from my announcement on -devel (which wasn't my intention at all). I wouldn't worry about the possibility of the server going down. At some point (hopefully), the Fedora 8 official repositories will be presto-enabled and you will then be able to get your deltarpms directly from them. The Fedora 7 official repositories will never be presto-enabled (at least as far as I understand it). Jonathan
