I see 6.8 is there now though packages are incomplete.

I suspect they are actually syncing all files again, but bumped into a
problem on one of the second-level mirrors where the 6.8 directory was
accidentally removed.

One of the CDNs would seem the obvious answer to your problem. Or have you 
already tried them ?

Addresses are :

Hey Eike,

https://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD has a local endpoint in São Paulo, 
Brazil if that is helpful.  Everything except packages are stored on the 
endpoint.  If you need greater speed from the node, I can upgrade it for a 
short period of time.

Cheers,
Brian

Thanks Stuart for the quick answer. We'll see if and when UFPR 
(Universidade Federal do Paraná) updates their mirror.

No wonder. An insider of the university would probably know  - please 
don't bother.
Ricardo Marcelo Fonseca's email of whois is not available anymore so I 
got no comment from their side.

They fetch files from origin sources on the fly, mostly from Canada
(for fastly/cloudflare) or USA (VDMS). Frequently fetched files can get
cached for a bit but if you're somewhere far from the origin they are
still not great. Usually better than connected directly to a far-away
site (they do keepalives so there are fewer delays, and the network
path is usually not too bad) but not as good as a real mirror.

Worth a try but don't expect magic (and there can be caching problems
with snapshots).

There was never a mirror on the official list in Uruguay.
The mirrors in Argentina closed. 

http://openbsd.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/OpenBSD/ exists again (it was previously
broken so was removed from the list) but does not have 6.8 yet.

South American mirrors?

2020-10-19 Thread Eike Lantzsch
Hello y'all,
Thank you for 6.8 and a painless way to upgrade.
Just out of curiosity and as a sidenote: downloading from Brazil was
always faster for me than from Canada or Europe.
Is there any information available about what happened to the South
American mirrors of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay? They are still there
with 6.6 and 6.7 but no 6.8 and accordingly already do not show up in
the mirror list.
Do those mirrors not comply anymore with the requirements for mirrors or
will they come up later with 6.8 or is it due to the situation of the
pandemic and the closure of the s.am. universities?
Does anyone know?
Cheers
Eike
