Not sure what you are trying to differentiate here. Rawhide changes daily, so I expect anybody using rawhide to use some of my bits per second every day after the sync. > Example: Release day is often murder for mirrors.

Yeah, but that's release day, not the weeks before release when you are wanting RCs. There are also a number of high-bandwidth mirrors these days (such as kernel.org) that greatly reduce the slowdown during release. IIRC even my little mirror only really topped out its bandwidth for a couple of days after the release of F10 (and it wasn't flat-lined; HTTP was still getting through just fine for the most part). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
