We can provide anything from this directory:-
http://linux.citylink.co.nz/gentoo/distfiles/ It contains someting like 11,700 ffiles represtenting various versions of packages so there aren't that number of actual packages. Approx 5 to 6 thousand would be a good guess. A large fraction of the more popular ones will be mirrored locally on a server at the OSTC. In order that we don't blow out the OSTC's traffic rattion too much we would like to ensure that any large package ( where large means much bigger than 10Megs such as the Mozilla or OpenOffice sources ) is downloaded previously on a different account, and then added to the local mirror. -- C.
