Hi, In regard to the 'HTTPS, CPAN, and dist integrity' thread.
I work on the metacpan project... FYI: We use http://www.fastly.com/ as our CDN (they are amazing) and we get this for free - always likely to: http://www.fastly.com/about/open-source/ MetaCPAN gets lots of support from companies, https://metacpan.org/about/sponsors Currently we have 2 servers with failover and load balancing (done through Fastly) at Bytemark UK (actually we have a 3rd as a staging server with them). We are working on setting up 3 servers with Liquid Web US, and have a 3rd hosting company looking at donating 3 servers (each hosting company is a different datacenter). This hardware (32G Ram + lots of CPU on each boxs) hosting and the bandwidth are kindly donated to us. So bottom line, I'm sure we can cope if this is what people want, though as always, more help with managing it is appreciated (we use puppet a lot), everything (other than our certs and private keys!) is available publically from https://github.com/CPAN-API/ Catch me on irc.perl.org #metacpan (ranguard) if you need further details, or want to help >From last month, daily averages served from Fastly... 65% hit rate (not back to our origins) 139k requests 29.5 GB of bandwidth Leo
