How do I go about adding a mirror or suggesting one? The script you use picks the nearest mirror geographically, yes? That's what I could get from looking at the source code.
The ones I get however, are http://www.apache.org/dist/avalon,http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,http://ls d.student.utwente.nl/repository in that order, almost all the time. I looked at the list of mirrors and found one that is very much closer: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/www/servers/apache/dist/ (I get about 20kB/s from the apache.org mirror, sunet delivers average 300kB/s, so I much prefer it.) The problem is, I think, that the mirror is FTP. However - sunet has an http interface: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/www/servers/apache/dist/ works just as well. So, I'm about to contact the admins at sunet to have the mirror listed with HTTP access as well - basically "hey guys, can I suggest to Apache that they use http to access the mirror?". Who do I talk to here? Infrastructure? Leo Simons, are you on that team - I think you were? /LS > -----Original Message----- > From: Berin Loritsch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: den 2 september 2003 21:07 > To: Avalon Developers List > Subject: Re: distributions - bandwidth hog > > > Berin Loritsch wrote: > > > > > Hmm.

If you connect to: > http://avalon.apache.org/maven.cgi You will see the contents of a generated properties file. The problem is getting Maven to use that file. The <property/> element only supports resource, file, and environment which means that we can only get it locally from our box. We might be able to do a remote copy or something like that, but no guarantees.
