You already have a significant number of mirrors across the world, you're already big enough to establish tiering. Burdens of the success :-) Postponing it will only make it worse, because you'll have to piss off more and more mirrors. Also, if you're going to put a new machine *only* for external rsyncs it doesn't need to be close to the rest; a reasonable link is enough, because it'll only be used to put the new content there. Other distros do it already. Finally, I offer our machine as rsync-stage. You could have an account here and manage the content locally. It's *only* for distribution, not for generating anything. We can withstand a big load and have multi-gigabit connections with Europe and US, and even a good link with current rsync-stage :-) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/mirrors/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
