could you explain why is that a problem ?
It produces significant load on the master. If you look at the web stats, e.g for September: http://pypi.python.org/webstats/usage_200809.html you see that there had been 5671455 hits, or 41%, of accesses through wget. The problem with wget mirroring is that it needs to read *many* pages, to find out the *few* changes. FWIW, it's also the case that 4940769 hits originate from France. Could it be that you are alone responsible for 40% of the traffic on PyPI? Regards, Martin
