Hi,

I remember the times when I coordinated the uploads to the OpenOffice.org mirror network from my office at Sun in Hamburg. At that time we used bouncer

Links to the Bouncer site of the Oregon State University on the http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/ site don't work anymore... (maybe by using the Archives Wayback Machine)

resp. MirrorBrain

One of the SuSE/Novell developers (Peter Poeml) was the main contributor of the MirrorBrain code.

Some info on the German Wikipedia:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MirrorBrain

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/MirrorBrain
http://svn.mirrorbrain.org/svn/mirrorbrain/trunk/
LibreOffice, VideoLan, KDE, Gome, FSF, Sourceforge and OpenSuSE still use mirrorbrain.
https://mirrorbrain.org/

which was enhanced by a GeoIP module to route mirror requests to a nearby mirror (background: a person of an African administration called me if it would be possible to reduce requests to far away mirrors because OpenOffice.org downloads resulted into mostly the whole bandwidth of the whole state). Mirrors were located mostly at universities spread worldwide).

The team should invite more mirrors to be part of the AOO mirror network. If the downloads.apache.org site is the main distribution site where eg. Sourceforge downloads the files for distribution then it should not be promoted as download site.

Kind regards, Joost

Hi Peter,

I would rather encourage to use the ASF mirror system again as an
addition to our SourceForge downloads.

Regards,
