Hello there... We applied for mirror site status starting on October 23rd, 1997 at which point we were informed that sometimes it takes up to a month for the listing to be updated. With perfect understanding and patience we waited a couple of months at which point we sent another email and got no response. A week later we sent an email which got a response stating it takes up to a month again.. fine..
To make a VERY long story short we've emailed every 45-50 days since and got the same response.... TO THIS DAY, we are still not listed as a mirror site. It's pretty embarassing as we were the absolute FIRST mirror site in Canada many ions ago.... but in late 96 we had to drop the mirror status due to bandwidth problems. We also have a very large clientele which uses Apache and comes to us for their downloads. In our information sent to our customers we've always instructed them to go to http://www.apache.org and select our mirror site. Pretty embrarrassing again when we put out a memo saying it's only temporary that our site in unavailable and a year and a half later almost it's still not resolved. Our mirror site is still updated daily at http://apache.kawartha.com Since we started having problems with the mirror site at kawartha.com we've setup 6 other mirror sites in different regions and they've been added to the mirror list within 14 days... WHY? Thank you for your time, Paul Stewart Network Systems Administrator Online Computer Distribution Peterborough, Ontario Canada
