As I never cared for servers with traffic amounts so huge as we are
talking about here, maybe my suggestion is not viable, so simply tell me
if I say something stupid. :-)
For me the main problem seems to be, that the mirrors don't manage to
rsync in a fast way (that there is not enough funding for Eberhard's
server is a problem which can't be solved technically ;-) ). Isn't it
possible to allow the mirrors to rsync with full bandwith by traffic
shaping or does traffic shaping simply not scale up to this level?
If the hardware doesn't allow this, maybe Eberhard should first store
the files in a place which can only be accessed by the mirrors until
they finished their rsyncs?
BTW, to understand the situation better: The mirrors rsync to
ftp.gwdg.de and not to some *.novell.com or *.suse.com?
Are the mirror servers starting their rsync just a few minutes after the
files are available or do they wait for some cron job?
Not to forget to thank all the people who invest their time (and
servers) for this project. :-)
Ciao
Siegbert
