Hi Janina,

One problem with that. I'm in North Carolina ... Kind of puts a damper on my
ability to get a mirror in europe *grin* ... Although, I think I might be
able to get one in Australiaa; however, that would be up to a friend of
mine, and not me.

However, if the university approves this: the bandwidth shouldn't be a
problem ... I have yet to find a way to max out any connection. Since it
will be a known public mirror; however, then they might decide to put a bit
of a cap on it. Hopefully, that will be a per user, and not general cap.

On the other hand ... A bit taurant might work out super well. If even 10 of
us cable and dsl folks contribute ... We'd have more than server type
speeds.

Take care,
Sina

Hi, Sina:

I think a mirror in Europe would be a very useful thing.

The act of mirroring is quite simple and shouldn't really require special
software. I should think a weekly rsync would suffice.

But, I should explain my thinking. I would not suggest mirroring cvs, as I
don't see the point of trying to do that. Rather, it's the very large
downloads, the Speakup Modified for example, that requires mirroring on
servers that enjoy very broad pipes to the Internet. A quick check suggests
the disk space needed is around 20 gb. But, the most important number is the
download bandwidth available.

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
