Hi,

For this reason I don't like this idea so much.
But the big advantage of this is, that the administration and 
maintainance of the system has not to be done by us.

CVS is the least problem, we can setup this easily.

Yes currently, we need to stay at sourceforge at least as download location.
In November we had over 2500 downloads from sourceforge and this is only 
half a month.
This means 50 GByte transfer in half a month!

Yes I mean this with our own server. Own hardware, self maintained.
I was more thinking about putting this one on my T1 line in the company, 
because I don't have a rack server available and of course, then I can 
easily administrate this box.
But I have to ask first and I can't use this as a download server, or 
only with a traffic shapper (max 500kBit/s).
So it's not sure I can do it.

As I wrote, we have already 50 GBytes and sourceforge. :-((

Good question.
Next week I have a long weekend (starting from Thursday), so I could do 
"something".
But I have also vacation on end of November for 2 weeks, so I don't have 
much time available.

What do you think?
I'm open for every suggestion.
