What branches you mean? The last time I have made initial pull (Oct 2005), I saw
following:

> monotone --db=monotone.db pull venge.net "net.venge.monotone*"
monotone: doing anonymous pull; use -kKEYNAME if you need authentication
monotone: connecting to venge.net
monotone: first time connecting to server venge.net
monotone: I'll assume it's really them, but you might want to double-check
monotone: their key's fingerprint: 70a0f283898a18815a83df37c902e5f1492e9aa2
monotone: warning: saving public key for address@hidden to database
monotone: finding items to synchronize:
monotone: bytes in | bytes out | certs in | revs in | revs written
monotone:    42.7M |      1.9M |    18210 |    3932 |            1
monotone: verifying new revisions (this may take a while)
monotone: bytes in | bytes out | certs in | revs in | revs written
monotone:    42.7M |      1.9M |    18210 |    3932 |         3932
monotone: successful exchange with venge.net
8609.125u 856.100s 2:39:33.01 98.8%     0+0k 0+0io 1pf+0w

Please, correct me, because 26M is acceptable for me, but 50M in a 2h40m isn't.

Thanks,
