I made an MSI overnight and it wasn't any fun at all. Now I have a 120MB
file that installs Octave Workshop etc... fine but I estimate that it will
take me 8 hours to upload it with my bandwidth. So either I'm going to wait
until tonight and start it overnight, or more likely, I'll wait until
tomorrow, when I go to the office with the laptop.

Cheers,

David,<br>

I'd like to try to get a MinGW release tomorrow. I don't mind trying to
sort out the QT installation issues myself, however is there an updated
octave-mingw zip file or do I just use the one I have?<br>
<br>
Also, I don't have the bandwidth at home to host such a large file, and
I'm not sure my alma mater (McGill) would be too pleased if I hosted a
100MB file there, and I still haven't sorted out the internet at my
current institution (Geneva University). I did apply for a sourceforge
project (will they be ok with a 100MB binary?) but this won't come in
until mid-week. I know you have good bandwidth, but I'm not sure your
home server is a good place for it...<br>
<br>
Anyway, what do you think?<br>
