Hi Orion,<div><br></div><div>im really so sorry... i have been extremely tied up the last few weeks.</div><div><br></div><div>the last thing i needed to check out for these partner repo's was the overall size.</div><div>
at the moment, yoafrica are having serious internet issues, so to download</div><div>repo's of big sizes, would take extremely long. i.e on average in the last week, the </div><div>repository is currently downloading updates at around 30kbps in the evenings.</div>
<div><br></div><div>i will look into this further as soon as i get a chance.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div><br></div><div>kalpesh.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 4:31 PM, O.
