Oh well. I did not want to get bashed for something which is probably no
problem, but I suspected that the two mirror machines could get out of
sync, which could well mean that the new packs would have to be downloaded
_twice_. As I said, probably no problem.
But it would become a non-problem when the HTTP transport would learn to
read and interpret the .idx files, basically constructing thin packs from
parts of the .pack files ("Content-Range:" comes to mind)...
