FYI, on the Ubuntu Singapore mirror... Junhao -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [linuxNUS] Repository mirrors in NUS Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:05 +0800 (SGT) From: Yung Shing Gene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
hi, We have figured out the problem. It turns out that the IP address of our mirror repository was being throttled at the NUS border. The throttling was part of comcentre's emergency action to reduce bandwidth usage during a DoS incident a while back. They probably overlooked taking out the throttling once normal service was restored. The bandwidth limit will be removed after 7pm 6th Dec. Moving forward, to minimize such problems in the future, we will throttle international traffic (ie. from outside SG) on the mirror server as we primarily serve SG users. Thanks for your patience guys, and please report any problems you encounter so that we can take a look at it promptly. rgds, --shing gene On Wed, 21 Nov 2007, Yung Shing Gene wrote: > > hi all, > > We're having some bandwidth problems with ftp.science.nus.edu.sg.
