[plt-scheme] local planet mirror/repository?

I can look into that at some poitn, but it would be nice to hear more
about the actual problem you're experiencing. Are you finding that
just downloading everything from Chicago is slow? (including, say, the
PLT Scheme mirror for downloading the basic installation)?

Thanks,
Robby
