Toffer at ftp.no.d.o that I already trigger for debian[-non-US] asked for it. Since it takes so long to sync the dataset, without trigger you run quite a large risk of trying to update during updates. So please, if you have a mirror of the ftp.fsn.hu unofficial debian images and some familarity with the debian push-sync system, consider sending me an email to set it up. A quick check reveales that: Starting at Fri May 10 14:05:02 MET_DST 2002 [update snipped] Done at Sat May 11 05:14:46 MET_DST 2002 Perhaps I should move it up earlier in the day, that would make it easier for my server (which has heavy load from about midnight to 07). But then, even at the highest load it should be fast enoguh to keep up. > We are before a major reconstruction of the site, so I hope in the future > we can handle the load better (currently we are capped at 3000 concurrent > FTP clients :).

Ok, that could explain the 11kB/s rates I see in my rsyncs. Or that could be explained by the really stupid routing (going via .us). > We are working on this, but first we have to "legalise" this service, so > we decided to set up a foundation around that.

That sounds great! Hope you manage to find stuff and links to build an even better server. > The first, we will try have multiple 2.5 Gbps connections to GEANT, the > European research network, but that race will be hard to win. :( Yeah, you aren't really a university. But if you could do the multiple frontend thing, you could perhaps put one on the research net? If it only uses that capacity for geant/i2 routes, it shouldn't be much of a problem except that of setting the links and routing up. Also, perhpas you can point to the fact that other projects like this exists on educational links like ftp.sunet.se (avg bw used 200-500Mbit/s) run and paid for by the swedish university network itself. > I hope that they can recognize the importance of this work, and they > decide to support us. > We'll see...

Ok, I was asking because of what time of day I should do the syncs. I put it at the arbitrary time 14:05 (local time here), because we have much more night (mirroring) load than day (end-user) load. Please tell me if you have any preferences. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
