Hi D-ECHO
That is not what I've said...
We can discuss all we want about the advantages and disadvantages of both terraGIT and terrasync all we want, as long as we want.
I was not unaware that to use terraGIT right now one has to download at least 1 full tile of 10x10 degrees. It can be non-optimal to some users like you. Other users (like I), we download the whole planet, and after a long first download, we can get updates in matters of just minutes, globally
That problem, from that angle is O.K. by me. Besides it is not a problem that remains without potential solution. It has been talked elsewhere, that we could mirror all terraGIT content in an https apache server somewhere, and give the url to users to completely replace the terrasync server address. Then terraGIT content will fully use terrasync curl fetching infrastructure, and download on the fly.
Until there we are talking technical. And that is not a problem.
You have given this issue a new spin... one I never gave myself.
That due to terraGIT, at least one user, D-ECHO is being forced to do something he does not want. And still forcing you to some inconvenience.
I am fully advocate to freedom in software: freedom for users. If one of terraGIT's disadvantages is that it forces users, then I have an issue with my own product.
