Does this mean you don't wish to create a workable mirror system?
Just because it doesn't fit into how you think it should work doesn't
mean it's not workable. Stop trolling.
I'm not trolling, I pointed out a serious problem with it and suggest
how it could be improved.
I repeat, mirrors in Europe & the US are not local to Western
Australia, and while Singapore is relatively close, still data crosses
national boundaries; while I don't understand the implications of
that, I am sure it doesn't have the same costs & rules that data-flows
within Austealia have.
Who cares? When I think of "local" in terms of an update mirror, all I
care about is latency (less so) and bandwidth (more so)...the fact that
a particular host is located in Perth or Ulan Bator or Los Angeles
really isn't important to me. Getting the bits from point A to point B
in the quickest and most reliable fashion IS important. I don't
understand why you're so hung up on server location as physical
geography is becoming less and less relevant as the world becomes more
and more wired.
Cheers,
