-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Package: Apt Version: N/A Severity: Wishlist
I'm submitting this as a bug in hope that we might want apt to use a random ftp-site carrying debian when installing - instead of everyone using the same host (ftp1.us.debian.org) This will spread the load between all the ftp-servers on the mirrorlist. Maybe there could even be provided a percentage to the different sites, concerning how often that exactly host should be chosen (hereby considering the different connection speeds the debian mirrors have available) And/or maybe make the decision based on the domainname of localhost (e.g. most .dk hosts should be directed to ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/debian/...) I've thought about it before, but never got it to the lists before now. So here goes :-)) /Frock On Wed, 21 Oct 1998, Jens B.
