autobuilders and redownloading all sources from classpath.org servers

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi,

If you are running an autobuilder against the sources of one of the
classpath.org servers (especially icedtea.classpath.org) could you
please double check that you are not unnecessarily redownloading
download drops and/or whole forests when there have been no changes
since the last time. The server is already over bandwidth limits and
every unnecessary GB download costs us a little extra money.

If you happen to operate an autobuilder on
93-38-70-169.ip69.fastwebnet.it (93.38.70.169) please contact me to see
if we can setup something more efficient. I sadly had to disable
downloads from this host since it was using up ~15%+ of all traffic on
the server.

Thanks,

Mark
