I think we could it was - but there was still sf.net which imho was still taking the lions share of the anoncvs load - but because we never have been able to gather any anoncvs stats - it's all conjecture. you should not "expect" anything. be prepared to have a lot of bandwidth load if you run an anoncvs mirror and don't get upset if you have quotas and they get blown. :) > distribute that load fairly well with 4 or 5 mirrors.

Anyone have any ideas? we can't do dns round-robin anyway because easydns doesn't handle that. also u need to be connecting to the same anoncvs mirror each time for consistency - the mirror(s) will rsync at different times ... in fact they SHOULD have staggered rsyncs - not all rsync "on the hour" or something. this is why we need to at least for now 1. set up an "anoncvs mirror package" which is all the configuration you need to set it up - and maybe software too. 2. i want to track statistics. if we can't track stats we keep saying "i have no idea" to people who ask how much it takes to run an anoncvs server - and we have no idea how heavily cvs is really used. is it just a very vocal small group of people or what? we need a way to gather stats (how many GB/day/hr etc. - how many connections, how many unique ip's - where do the connections come from (usa, europe, asia etc.). this will also let us know where the need for anoncvs servesr is greates - eg we may need 2 or 3 in usa, 1 or 2 in europe, only 1 in asia etc. > -Blake > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
