Looks good, thanks!
GeoIP is on the ToDo list though;
"// TODO: weight by geoip or something?" has been in the code ever
since the very first commit.
Among the motivations for running ftp.acc.umu.se are the aim to
provide excellent service to our region, so we strongly recommend
using a geoip aware download redirector. Mirrorbits
https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits comes highly recommended by many
projects that we mirror.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look in to mirrorbits.
The most straight-forward way for package managers might be to just do
an initial request (fetching a list/index file for example) and then
aim future requests for that session towards the server that served
the index file. You don't need file-by-file geoip perfectness for the
package manager stuff, and it's usually smaller files meaning that the
overhead of always following redirects might become painful.
For website-stuff it might be fancy to use the JSON capabilities if
Mirrorbits to be able to show which mirror might be serving the
download, or allow the user to choose, etc. But the most common way to
do it is just to link to the mirrorbits download URL.

It's not quite round robin; it keeps track of last-sync information, and only chooses from mirrors that have synced sufficiently recently to have the requested file. GeoIP is on the ToDo list though; "// TODO: weight by geoip or something?" has been in the code ever since the very first commit. > Among the motivations for running ftp.acc.umu.se are the aim to > provide excellent service to our region, so we strongly recommend > using a geoip aware download redirector.

that's awesome! thanks!
Appreciation is all well and good, but we're still not listed on

Btw, the "standard" download links on

[Dev] New Parabola mirror: ftp.acc.umu.se
Academic Computer Club (ACC), Umeå University, Sweden hereby announces
the intent to provide a mirror of Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.
ftp.acc.umu.se has 20 Gbit dedicated connectivity to SUNET, and enjoys
excellent peering towards Europe and US via NORDUnet.
Despite the name, the cluster is heavily optimized for http/https and
also provides rsync service.
We are syncing hourly from rsync://repo.parabola.nu:875/repos/ in
accordance with the instructions on
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Creating_a_mirror
* Mirror name
ftp.acc.umu.se
* Mirror organization
Academic Computer Club, Umeå University
* Mirror location
Umeå, Sweden
* Mirror speed
20 Gbps
* Mirror administrator (email)
ftp-...@acc.umu.se
* Mirror access URLs
http http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/parabola.nu/
https https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/parabola.nu/
rsync rsync://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/parabola.nu/
*NOTE* that the cluster is highly optimized for http/https, so despite
the name we prefer to not publish clickable FTP links. Those who
really needs to use FTP can usually figure it out from the site name!
*NOTE2* that the cluster uses redirects to offload requests for large
files to dedicated large-file offload targets. Mechanisms that check
mirror status must not treat this as an error.
On behalf of the ftp.acc.umu.se admins,
