I'm sorry! I missed this part of the email; I thought fauno added you guys to the mirror list. You should be in parabolaweb and the wiki now, and the `pacman-mirrorlist` package pretty soon. > Btw, the "standard" download links on > https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola seems to simply do round-robin > between the available mirrors...

It's not quite round robin; it keeps track of last-sync information, and only chooses from mirrors that have synced sufficiently recently to have the requested file. GeoIP is on the ToDo list though; "// TODO: weight by geoip or something?" has been in the code ever since the very first commit. > Among the motivations for running ftp.acc.umu.se are the aim to > provide excellent service to our region, so we strongly recommend > using a geoip aware download redirector.

Once again, I'm sorry we dropped the ball on this! -- Happy hacking, ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
