I don't see it as a huge problem if we leave few mirrors as http:// - it enables ancient 3.3 clients to still get some updates.. dunno if that's good or bad. Maybe let's try to convert all "this year"? Btw about mirror weights, how were they decided? Basically weight=1 means there's a 1/50 chance to get a request, or 10 times less than the weight=10 mirrors. Is everyone happy about the amount of traffic they receive? I'll probably bump mine up a bit since I have no traffic limits/costs.. sa-update.verein-clean.net (1/4.8 chance) sa-update.spamassassin.org (1/4.8 chance) www.sa-update.pccc.com (1/9.6 chance) sa-update.ena.com (1/9.6 chance) sa-update.razx.cloud (1/9.6 chance) sa-update-asf.snb.it (1/9.6 chance) sa-update.dnswl.org (1/16.0 chance) sa-update.mailfud.org (1/16.0 chance) sa-update.space-pro.be (1/47.2 chance) sa-update.fossies.org (1/47.4 chance) Cheers, Henrik
