Hi Janina, One problem with that. I'm in North Carolina ... Kind of puts a damper on my ability to get a mirror in europe *grin* ... Although, I think I might be able to get one in Australiaa; however, that would be up to a friend of mine, and not me. However, if the university approves this: the bandwidth shouldn't be a problem ... I have yet to find a way to max out any connection. Since it will be a known public mirror; however, then they might decide to put a bit of a cap on it. Hopefully, that will be a per user, and not general cap. On the other hand ... A bit taurant might work out super well. If even 10 of us cable and dsl folks contribute ... We'd have more than server type speeds.

Subject: Re: fc3 dl Hi, Sina: I think a mirror in Europe would be a very useful thing. The act of mirroring is quite simple and shouldn't really require special software. I should think a weekly rsync would suffice. But, I should explain my thinking. I would not suggest mirroring cvs, as I don't see the point of trying to do that. Rather, it's the very large downloads, the Speakup Modified for example, that requires mirroring on servers that enjoy very broad pipes to the Internet. A quick check suggests the disk space needed is around 20 gb. But, the most important number is the download bandwidth available.
