This sort is unlikely to optimal, but optimality would be much harder to achieve.
Do you have anything in mind that would be more optimal? Should I take a different strategy?
The ideal situation is to have 1 large download running to soak up bandwidth
Would it be better to search for any really large packages (much larger than the rest), put those at the top of the
list, and then leave everything else unsorted? Would that be too slow as well?
I think aiming for optimal would require too much complexity in the ordering. I'm happy with a plain sort if it is an improvement. I'll run some with and without this patch and report back. I suggest others do too. Allan
