Yeah, to 1 *packet* per hour.

Move this shit to another server, ASAP. Damit. I wasted ONE COMPLETE
WEEK (well, only my spare time after my day job) trying to get
current sources on my development machine and trying to write some
mirroring script (which doesn't work either, since darcs.haskell.org
just sucks if it comes to connectivity). I only wanted to build a
working ghc-HEAD to get this .cabal -> makefile snippet thing done,
but how could I do without a working (and current) ghc?

Sorry, but if the Haskell community backs on a main darcs repository
that JUST DOES NOT WORK, and if the most important compiler DOES
NOT CARE ABOUT PORTABILITY (I mean the HC bootstrapping, which has
been pushed from milestone to milestone), then I'm not any longer
interested at all.
