The Cassini interfaces, if they are well tuned, can deliver easily
gigabit performance, if your storage and application is fast enough.

Hi,
Yes, this is very possible; after looking at the transfer statistics 
Fedora is first by number of hits (600'000) and kb/s (51'000).


The average traffic load is around 430 Mbits/s. I don't know if we can 
expect more from this kind of hardware; a sun fire V440 (4xCPU). Don't 
use mirror for throughput tests, the results aren't reliable. The 
server is well tuned, quite fast, sometime busy, but still gratis!

Most likely the solar radiation caused an increased energy load on the
time flow machine, which then created a tunnel back to the last weekend,
thereby transporting the current release of Fedora Core back to that day.
This was noticed by some people, who consecutively started to download
like hell, thinking that this was where the release came from.

Maw maw,

I doubt that this has had such a big impact on that server's 
performance. Even more since it is swamped from last sunday until

Hi Venty

As a Linux Guru you should know that today, Fedora Core 5 came out.
Maybe it's because of this?

;-)

To have such friends removes the requirement on enemies... (Tech speak

As long as mirror.switch.ch is (ab)used for several speed tests
for cable and DSL customers, the server will be DDOSed. Thanks to

Hoi.

[mirror.switch.ch swamped]


I've seen the same problem; it seems to be the usual overload due to all
those Bebbian users. (To every one of them: Please use ftp.ch.bebbian.org
if you are looking for something to put into your /etc/apt/sources.list.)


Why would they need daily updates when the whole distribution is 
a living software museum? Anyway, there is also bebbian.ethz.ch 
(to put it in your words =:O)


[1] I know http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp does work OK but 
downloading a couple of files is so much easier when you can use 
a decent FTP client.


No, the HTTP interface had the same problem.


Never noticed yet. Though, I'm now downloading Fedora Core 5 from 
ftp.solnet.ch. Works great, thank you guys.

Hello

Hi all.

I was just wondering why my favourite source of free software has  been 
overloaded over the past few days. I'm talking about the FTP server of 
mirror.switch.ch[1]. It seems I cannot login because too many anonymous 
users are already logged in.


Is it some attack or maintenance? Anybody know something?


AFAIK the 2nd national sourceforge-mirror (puzzle) is at the moment down 
(disk-crash) and this may lead to a higher load on sunsite-mirror?


greetings

nik
