My web site has over 30,000 tiny files. The entire site takes 159MB of my hard disk for only 54MB of data (due to block sizes). Panther's 'local copy' feature for the iDisk uses the local block allocation size when counting space requirements, and complains that the files will not fit. Copying to the real iDisk is no problem.
I notice that copying files up to iDisk (WebDAV) is now much quicker. Last week I averaged one to two minutes per file. Now they average 10 to 15 seconds. This holds for my 10.2 iBook, too, so the improvement is on the server. Thank you, Apple!
