from mirror list: mirrors.bigtennetwork.com/CentOS</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>All, <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Due to an inordinate amount of Chinese based traffic from
only a handful of IP addresses (over 145 TB transferred to just <B>12</B> IP
addresses in only 15 days since we started hosting the mirror) we are forced
to cease our participation in the CentOS mirror project. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In our research before deciding to offer our support we
were told to expect a sustained 3-5 Mbit/s of mirror traffic. In
reality, and from only a handful of IPs, we regularly push over 200Mbit/s on
our 300Mbit/s line. Each of the abusive IPs downloads the same DVD iso
files over and over thousands of times. We have tried blocking the
abusive IPs only to see another IP with a sequentially increased last octet
take its place. Whether this is an outright attack or just an
unfortunate coincidence matters not. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Regretfully, I must ask that we be delisted from the mirror
list asap. Once our links are down, we will shut down the server.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>At some point in the future we may decide to participate
again but for now, we cannot justify the inordinate bandwidth use.
<o:p></o:p></P>
