Hi Alan,
We historically have not provided either ISO images or the matching
torrents for our "BD" images due to the size of those images. It looks
like our scripting here has got confused a little. The Debian-edu "BD"
image is much smaller, so it makes more sense to make it available for
firect ISO or torrent download.
Maswan: I guess we should also be adding "bd" to the build files for
the torrent seeders to be picking up on this? Will they understand
that?

In addition to those two IPs, we do http redirects for large files to offloaders, for details about the ACC mirror cluster see: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/ We currently shouldn't have any performance issues on our side the last few weeks, and the /debian-cd/ part of cdimage.debian.org is widely mirrored.

There is also one more solution, better maintenance of the jigdo-mirror scripts and possibly enforcement of usage of that in the private mirror. I am going to reduce the number of public slots for the release, which is close to the same thing as turning it off during release time at least. It'd also be possible to send a page to http requesters telling them to go to a country mirror. However, since http is already redirected to the backends, it's probably not necessary. Yeah, that's what I meant, that part is not necessary for the most part since it goes to different hosts.

Please feel free to point out what I've missed... :-) 1. The Problem We generate new CDs and DVDs for each point release. These are published in the release area of cdimage.debian.org[1].

We move old trees of images into the archive area[2] as each new build is published, We then prune most of the old ISO images so we don't waste too much space - older images can be recreated in the future using jigdo if necessary. d. Other ideas? Can't we link to the 'current' images on the webpages? Then you can link to the directory with isos for a particular arch and type: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/ But not to an actual iso, due to the version number being included there: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-501-amd64-CD-1.iso /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Would the tracker without seeding from my part be useful? The Beta release is listed as the first option on the D-I page [1] for people wanting to install lenny. ATM the weeklies are even not listed at all to encourage people to use the Beta. The weeklies will be added back on the page after two weeks or so. Ok, I didn't know that. I just asked when the beta images were published if I should drop weekly torrents in favour of betas and got a no. If that's not the case, I can drop the weeklies and mirror up the beta images instead. In line with the discussion about what (iso) images to produce for lenny, I think that as long as diskspace is an issue here, we need to be smarter about prioritizing bittorrent seeds too. Having popular images seeded for _both_ the beta and weeklies is (at least IMNSHO) much more important than having all weekly images for all architectures seeded. For bittorrent seeding it is very easy to mirror down a whole directory structure and seed all isos in there. So this will either easily follow a reduction in the full isos available, or require some kind of black/white-listing of good images to torrent (plus some code). /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Are you concerned about increased seek times, Matthias? IIRC people like Attila Nagy mentioned from time to time that jigdo thrashed their disks a bit more than regular .iso downloads. Yes, that is one concern. On the server side a plain iso download puts much less load on the system. On the other hand, shipping hundreds of gigs around to mirrors puts quite alot of load too. So I think we should keep the plain http downloads for the useful/popular set (netinst, i386/amd64 dvd isos and lower number cd isos, perhaps CD1/DVD1 for other arches that can boot from CD/DVD), the rest can probably be dropped from the mirrors. They can still be carried by cdimage.d.o/cdimage just like oldstable isos etc, but no need for putting them into the mirrored directory. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Get over it and stop making things awkward with a download format used almost exclusively for linux distributions.

For example the ftp.fr.debian.org admin explained me that they were limited by the disk seek and not by the bandwith used by the users. That's interesting - I hadn't heard of this kind of problem before! :-/ Jigdo is really designed for the no bandwidth and/or no disc space case. But this is not a common opinion among mirror operators, or is it?? Well, a jigdo-build against our debian mirror will use slightly more bandwidth and much more resources than a iso download. Of course, a jigdo download using another debian mirror would be a big win. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Doing http redirects would not mirror well None of the mirrors i looked at seem to carry the daily/weekly images and the d-i site doesn't link to any form of mirror selection page There are at least 2 mirrors that I know of, and I can probably find several more by digging in logs. , not work for rsync/ftp access true but the only users using theese access methods for daily/weekly images would be those browsing the server manually anyway [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log/fifologger# grep 'cdimage/.*arch-latest' rsyncd_2007-04-01 | wc -l 23 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log/fifologger# grep 'cdimage/.*current' ftpd_2007-04-01 | wc -l 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log/fifologger# grep 'cdimage/.*arch-latest' ftpd_2007-04-01 | wc -l So yes, these symlinks are used by both rsync and ftp users. Anyway, I can look at what kind of http redirects we can offer, and how they would interfer with the cache redirect stuff we use. Chances are that the updates would require superuser privilleges on half a dozen machines not involved in the cd building. So most likely, no. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: researcher seeking torrent logs

I'm looking to acquire BitTorrent tracker logs for analysis to develop a better understanding of BitTorrent's behavior in actual deployment. Since you provide .torrent files for Debian CD images, I was wondering if you currently store these logs and might be open to sharing them with me, or could be persuaded to begin storing them if you currently don't. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated, useful for my research, and, ultimately, help to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of BitTorrent and similar tools. Sure (unless someone else objects strongly), misc logs are turned into public stats now and then anyway. I don't keep too much of a backlog though, currently one week. They end up at 5-20 megabytes gzip:ed. /Mattias Wadenstein
