just an observation i got to wondering how accurate my claim was, that the number of mirrors had nearly doubled in the past few years - i was not actually sure; but i remembered that it was 2017, shortly after i started publishing ISOs, when the host was concerned about our increased bandwidth usage - anyways, i looked at the history of the downlaods page to get a better idea about the mirror network in the past - i under-estimated the growth by quite a bit
https://wiki.parabola.nu/index.php?title=Get_Parabola&oldid=18297 before oaken-source and i joined parabola, there were only 5 mirrors; so the _net_ number of mirrors (the bandwidth load on winston) has actually tripled since 2017 its not all that surprising - 4 years is a significant portion of parabola's history - but it does demonstrate the increased load on winston (and therefore the increased generosity of 1984) _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.parabola.nu https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
