I doubt it's so much the storage on the user end as storage and
bandwidth on the mirrors.
I have gotten around that by formatting with ext4 and
setting up for persistence.
Problem is, I am finding it rather difficult to get most
PC's to actually boot off a USB stick. Some do, most don't.
Supermicro's BIOS'es are an especially big pain in the neck
(not my exact word). Most PC's will boot off a DVD though.
And NO MAC (OSx) will boot off a Live USB without jumping
though some crazy hoops.
