    I know it does and people use it to casually browse the tree, not as an
    update mechanism. What you are talking about is something which makes
    BK a GNU patch server. A useful thing, I can imagine, but it isn't
    happening on bkbits.net unless someone offers to pick up the cost of
    another T1 line. $800/month.

    As it is we share the T1 line that bkbits.net uses with everything else,
    including our voice over IP phone system. I can definitely tell when
    someone does something on bkbits, it tends to garble the phone.
