Frank nailed it by saying that the network should be last resort. I am *really* flailing out here, ok :) Nothing works, and the ability to download and use from a local cache would be a HUGE(!!!!) help, I suspect. Frank took the words right out of my keyboard (and said it better than I would have).
I agree that better caching behavior would be good, but really this is inherently a network related operation: loading remotely stored code. I fail to see how updating let's say Ubuntu would work with a failing network. SqueakSource has been failing today and was maybe slow before that, that would kill your whole experience, especially if you do big builds. Sven
