I am talking about 'texlivetexmf-20240312'.
While I'm lucky that there is a substitute, I can hardly use it. At
3.95GB and 31 kB/sec download speed, it took twenty minutes to reach 1%.
If my math is right, two thousand minutes are about thirty-three hours.
What is the rationale for the monolithic package, please? I'm not using
it in any of my own stuff, I don't think. Thanks!
Kind regards
Felix
