Hi again, We unfortunately had to close the rsync server starting from today to get back to manageable traffic levels. Only a few mirrors identified as potential tier-1 mirrors are allowed to sync, the list is available here:
https://openwrt.org/downloads#mirrors Beware that this list may change in the near future (new entries / removed entries), and not all listed mirrors provide rsync service. We already got several proposals for tier-1 mirrors, thank you, we will get back to you.
