Is it possible to limit the bandwidth for kinneret to 5Mbit/sec, like hamakor did?
The way I see it, the current demand for Kinneret right now is a horse we need to jump on. Many people might give up if they cannot download it, and I expect the rush to last only several days. If we leave it only to one or two sites to mirror kinneret, they will crash. But if we gather enough mirror sites, none of them will have to take too strong a flood of demand, and we can do this together. I think for this we need help from more servers, for example from whatsup and the penguin. Just a couple of days of joint efforts, people. Orna.
