Hi,up
There's been a lot of traffic on the list lately about mirror problems.
My partner and I are FINALLY (after some 4 1/2 months of waiting) having commercial cable installed this week or next week. Included in this bundle is 6 fixed IP addresses. We pay a fixed amount per month for up to a fixed amount of bandwidth.
What I'm considering doing, if there is interest, is bumping our bandwidth
by one price notch and hanging a private mirror for cooker on one of the fixed IP's. There would be no charge using the mirror, but because we can't afford a big pipe and would want to keep the speed reasonable, etc, would limit the number of users.If you are going to be able to synch directly with the primary machine at MandrakeSoft that houses the Cooker tree, then I would be interested in making a donation to have access. I am tired of not being able to get to a public mirror with reasonable bandwidth during business hours.
Is this something that anyone is interested in?
Approximately how much bandwidth are we talking here?
