Yeah, you really should host a mirror - more mirrors means more places to distribute the bandwidth load.
Tell me one thing though: is this OC-12 line into your house or workplace??? I've been trying for ages to get a ISP that'll let me host with even a bloody cable broadband connexion, however, since my area was one of the first to be wired with cable broadband, they're not going to re-wire it until hell freezes over (not the one in Alaska). Sorry, ISPs are a major sore-spot of mine... yeah, you should certainly make an effort to host a mirror. What locale would your mirror be in? the US? I think that there's a lack of mirrors in the US personally... I would love to remedy that, but as I said before, I'm in no situation to host anything, the least part of the problem being that my current ISP has me vow to *not* host anything. To host would be a breach of contract and then they could terminate my service for TV, phone, internet.. the whole works. If you ever are in a position to destroy a part of Comcast's property, please do so, since they've got a abhorrant stranglehold monopoly on my area... And as to fixing the mirrors list, it didn't change from where I browse. You sure it's work'n? We should certainly try to convince more of the other mirrors that host other bits of debian to add amd64 to their lists, since the i386 mirrors are many and fast, perhaps some of the more techno-literate among us should offer to help upgrade their mirrors, since the mirrors generally run themselves (it looks like that to me, anyways) and the main bits of pain are adding other parts of the repositories. We certainly should work harder to promote the amd64 architecture... I mean... we've been rather slothful, haven't we??? RedHat has had amd64 for a long while, and the amd64 architecture has been on the market almost a year in a half now (if not more... what was the first thing that goes?? I can't seem to remember... ; ) I can't claim much of the responsibity of not promoting amd64... but I think that there's a fair number of amd64 people running i386 (all those registers - unused! sniff...) so we certainly should be working either harder or smarter....
