Mirrors are a volunteer organization and most of them have only about a 1-2 TB of space they can put up for mirroring. The regular distributions are already hitting that so the larger the amount we use the less they will carry. Also depending on how large the images are this will impact how long they can get data from us. The images will take time to move out to the mirrors.. the larger the image the longer it takes to mirror. The more churn on the disks the more it affects all the other projects who are being mirrored. Asking mirrors to run additional software is usually a non-starter unless that software is being used by multiple projects. [We still have mirrors who are still only able to allow FTP out of their sites, and many are run by student sysadmins who are constantly changing so their bosses want anything to basically 'run itself'] -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
