I'm planning to move intensively towards Using FreeBSD some of our ISP applications in the near future. I appreciate the most the work that the FreeBSD Project is doing and in return (for the great possibilities it gives to the IT society) I would like to help the project the most I can. I would like to establish a mirror of www.freebsd.org to something like www.ro.freebsd.org or www1.ro.freebsd.org. I suggest this because the actual www.ro.freebsd.org is hardly accessible (as far as I tried) and the ftp mirror (ftp.ro.freebsd.org) although it is accessible (slow, because the connection it stands on is used by a couple thousand students all the time) won't even respond to a ping or traceroute. I would like to help this situation by setting up a primarily a www and within one month a ftp mirror for Romania. We are a commercial company and we would like to ask u if it is possible for these mirrors to get the first mirror addresses (www. and ftp. instead of www1. and ftp1.). This would give us some advertisement benefices as well in return of the loss in bandwidth. Currently we operate one of the fastest connections in the western part in Romania and we have a 40% avg. usage on the inband and 12% avg. usage on the outband (which is the one that interests downloaders). I would like to ask you (if agreed) to help us setting up this mirror (first the www and than the ftp) so we can become operational as smoothly as possible We would like to ask u to provide us with a CD image of the base FTP image, which than can be updated on a daily basis with mirror. That will help us start with the whole distribution set the FTP mirror instead of starting it first with the stable and then with the current part. Awaiting suggestions.
