Sweet! Just had a chance to actually use it last night. I’m on 56k dialup and the emerge -u world that I did wanted to download what would have taken about 1.5+ hours and with getdelta it took 10-15 minutes. Awesome!!

Good job !!!

But for me it’s a little too late. For 2 months I got my ADSL line.
for 30 EUR/month, 4Mb/s is far more better than 56k as before.

So for gentoo, my old computer need more time to compile that to dowload (most time at 500ko/s, very good mirrors !)

Regards

And thanks to all for this good Distro !

Wow!

I would like to thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am on a 56k connection and this is indeed a godsend!
