[freenet-support] V e r y s l o o o o o w download from freenetproject.org/snapshots

2005-10-25 Thread Matthew Toseland 
They have two mechanisms for snapshots and so on... I submitted requests
for access to these about a year ago and occasionally get an update.

Most recently:
-
A new queueing mechanism for beta offerings is being developed
and is planned for rollout in the next month. We have taken the
data from this Support Request and stored it into an intermediary
location for import into the new beta offering queue mechanism
when it is made live.

We plan on including your project in the beta offering. Once the
list is made live, additional information will be made available
to you, linked to from your My SF.net page. This information will
include the expected timeframe along with any other information
we have available to provide at that time.

As no further updates will be made to this ticket, it is now
being closed. Keep an eye on your My SF.net page for further
information on the beta offerings this coming month.

Thank you,

SourceForge.net Support


As far as I can see they have not yet rolled this out. So if they are
throttling downloads, it is either incompetent or unhelpful.

nongnu.savannah.org anyone?

We absolutely must not serve from our own server on releasing 0.7. And
arguably not on getting slashdotted either (which is a relatively
regular occurrence!).

The problem isn't lack of available bandwidth, Sourceforge has  
plenty, it is that they deliberately slow down downloads from their  
web servers as they want people to use their file release system.

We need to investigate whether we can use this in an automated way,  
if not, we can probably just distribute from our own server for the  
time being.

why not?

moreover, torrent allows making a "packs" of files, like archives, so
you can put all necessary files to one "snapshot" and download it at
the speed of light :)

This is slower than downloading a file from Freenet itself :-)

Trying to update to the latest node version by doing what I've done before,
i.e. downloading freenet-latest.jar from freenetproject.org/snapshots but
it's only arriving at 200B/s (Yes, B/s, not KB/s, I didn't miss out the K).
This is slower than downloading a file from Freenet itself :-)

Something wrong with the server?
