Hi, We (the UK Mirror Service) run ftp2.uk.freebsd.org, and we recently switch to pulling from ftp.uk.freebsd.org after ftp.freebsd.org proved to slow (and also seemed to be an inappropriate site to mirror from). However, we're still having trouble keeping up with the changes when things get busy around release time. We synchronize once daily using ftp. Last night we only managed to pull 600mb during the night - we stop mirroring sometime in the morning. This left us with around 1.8gb still left to pull. Obviously this is not good and means we lag further behind when a release happens and we're therefore offering out-of-date files. Is there anything we can do to improve this? Maybe a faster site to mirror off - I think there may be an EU master site now? Cheers guys, Tim. -- Tim Bishop, Computer Science Computing Officer, University of Kent PGP Key: 0x2950BFF8 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
