Package: debmirror Version: 20060907.1 Severity: wishlist Enhancing debmirror to properly download files over http in big batches can increase its performance by large ammounts. I get circa 4mbit/s from mirrors.kernel.org over pipelined requests, while debmirror doesn't manage even 512kbit/s average when there are too many files to download (because it does one connection per file to request). When it occasionally hits a big file, one can see tcp ramp up to 4mbit/s and then drop off again when demirror tears down the connection to get the next file.
