Just a humble suggestion, but could you bzip2 the patchfile? Your ~660k patch file would go into ~117k with bzip2.

Doesn't really matter patching either, just bzcat patchfile | patch -Np1

Would spare your bandwith and ours.

bash-3.00$ ls -lh GRSec*
-rw-r--r-- 1 tuxq tuxq 685K 2005-03-18 12:45 GRSec.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 tuxq tuxq 117K 2005-03-18 12:44 GRSecBZ2.patch.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 tuxq tuxq 147K 2005-03-18 12:43 GRSecGZ.patch.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 tuxq tuxq 126K 2005-03-18 12:44 GRSecRZ.patch.rz


All using -9. Bzip2 wins! w00t!
