ftp is a protocol of the past that deserves to die. any mirror service should at least be able to give http access. conary is accessed via http. so it should be possible to use services like claudflare or similar. distributing http over multiple machines is not exactly dificult. can the conary client handle redirects? if redirects work, distributing requests over multiple conary repos should be no problem. how does the file access work? but can file downloads be redirected to "dumb" http fileservers? greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net foresight developer realss.com foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin trainer developer societyserver.org Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
