What kind of bandwidth would you need? Lots of folks have the bandwidth for something like this. It's mainly that Jordan needs to get off his ass and ask someone to serve such a box for the explicit purpose. :) Part of the problem is that doing mirroring like this has to be done in a special manner since just offering ftpd access doesn't work. Rsync (or, even better, cvsup) would be a much better way to do mirrors. Of course most people already know that, it's just that FreeBSD.org's ftp mirrors simply don't do it this way yet. Methinks that the ftp mirrors should take the architecture that John Polstra setup for cvsup. :-) To that end, the best place to setup such a site would be at Yahoo!, since several members of the project work there and they have lots and lots of copious gigabit bandwidth and it's geographically close to where the actual bits are rolled at release times (plus where the packages are built by the bento cluster. Barring that, there are many sites that would volunteer to host such a machine. I don't really need to name any examples, do I? --=20 wca --E3uLVfkTOQRgdDj6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE65cGbF47idPgWcsURAnzwAJwPF7vM6yEO1W2BM5Zs4/du9yZ8eQCeMcvf qkk1cWBJrU04BMSgrS89wEw= =hktt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --E3uLVfkTOQRgdDj6-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
