Bandwidth problems at beta time (was: Re: today's UEC report)

[Steven Harms]

I would think the easiest solution to this would be to work with
upstream / patch apt
 for http auth support, so we could have:

deb https://launchpadid@developers.ubuntu.com

And just have the webserver authenticate against launchpad for
approved groups.  If Karmic is what we hope,
next cycle will only have even more demand on the mirrors.
