The Harvest replicator was intendted to handle "massive" replication
groups, with hundreds of members. The actual transfer of data
was done with good ol' ftp-mirror. The smarts of the software was
this peice called topologyd or floodd. That is what dynamically
arranged all the group members in a hierarhcy to optimize
the distribution.
