Could we have firewall rules that deny excessive downloads to the same URL to forbid DOS attacks?
Those rules should be put in place in the pull phase now, as Kyle points out.
There are all kinds of crazy build scripts out there. Forcing them to do all the downloads in the pull is one more step for upstreams to adopt snaps, and sometimes it's not even doable.
It sounds really nice, because you could pull in one machine, copy everything to another and then do the build in there completely isolated. But from what I've seen these months building snaps, it might be too much to ask.
