From 528c8b3e606ad9fdb314e41188ed7a0f37488ade Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Dahlberg Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 13:51:59 +0100 Subject: README: Add note about time to download The sweet spot to take "all current logs" is right after the last year's log shards expired and were pulled from Google Chrome's list. Because then we don't have 12 months of mostly expired certificates to download. Our measurement was a few months after the sweet spot. --- README.md | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 5df15df..6300525 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -88,8 +88,11 @@ Download and verify the logs' Merkle trees up until the current snapshot: This will take a while depending on the local system, configuration of the optional `collect` flags, as well as how heavily the logs apply rate-limits. + For reference, we [downloaded the logs](./docs/operations.md) from scratch in -less than 11 days using a single-IP machine that respects the logs' rate-limits. +less than 11 days using a machine with a single IP address.
