YES! Please please please do use mirrorbrain, OpenSuse, TDF (LibreOffice), VLC, XMBC and others (see: http://mirrorbrain.org/users/) use it. Actually most of the traffic mirror.netcologne.de receives comes from various mirrorbrain instances. It does wonderful things (http://mirrorbrain.org/features/): * Load-Balance by GeoIP / AS matching (traffic stays very local) * Intensive checks (even via rsync) regarding mirror consistency ** It can serve things down to the file level to a mirror that still/already has a certain file * automatic hashing to check for * meta links * torrent support (so mirrors could function as HTTP seeds) * ...
