I highly doubt shaftnet will ever have bandwidth problems per se (it
hooks into an OC12! == 622Mbps) but depending on where you are on the
planet, the routes make a huge difference. I'm normally 30-50ms away
from it at work and home, but my new office ends up with a 200-600ms
ping time, depending on the time of day, thanks to netrail's shitty
routing.

As I said before, at the new office I get really shitty service to
shaftnet, but the best overall is probably sourceforge (mainly because
of their obscene bandwidth) But I'm morally opposed to sorceforge for
some reason.

shaft.shaftnet.org is a K6-233 and /home is a pair of RAID1 UW SCSI
drives. So it's a little more reliable than the average bear, though
its CPU speed is a little prehistoric by today's standards. I can have
it back up elsewhere, though it's not currently doing that (its backup
machine proved to be a little unreliable.. heh heh)

I'd vote for BerliOS, personally. (after shaftnet, of course. I like
having root on boxes I rely on)
