  Hi Dag,

  Could you elaborate on this? It could very well be that I'm naive (how
  much data are we talking?), but wouldn't it be possible to have a
  box somewhere to which only you/rpmforge and the mirrors can connect and
  let the mirrors sync from this one? If I were to supply you such a box,
  (just to improve the quality of my mirror :-)) what should the specs be?

  I just subscribed to the users list :-)

  Maybe the RPMforge-homepage can announce known and/or current probs in
  hardware and/or packages?

  Good to hear :-)
