First: Thanks for the contribution!

I'm a bit worried that adding 45000 binaries will make the repository more or less unusable.

How about making it one file per hour or one per day?

Another thing: I'd actually prefer CVS over XML, if the data structure would support that. But that's just taste, because of the easier processing.

Thx, compressing day-wise is a great suggestion, I'll see how to achieve this ..
