[darcs-users] coping with latency?

[Conal Elliott]

Is darcs known to be difficult over a high-latency internet connection?  I
have satellite-based internet and so a considerable ping (1-2 seconds
typically).  Pushes & pulls are terribly slow (often several minutes).  I
wonder if there are helpful coping strategies (other than leaving darcs).

I am running darcs 2.1.0 (release) locally.  One server I use has 2.1.0
installed, while another (code.haskell.org) has 2.0.2.

To get a sense of how many times I'm making new connections, I renamed by
~/.ssh.  When I try a push, I get prompted for my password over & over &
over.

Zippier distributed source control would really help my productivity.  I'd
greatly appreciate help.

Thanks,  - Conal
