sorry for the massive cross-post, but I wanted to make sure that I get everyone that needs to know this.
Mirror.caosity.org is having problems keeping up with all of the mirrors. Rsync is a memory hog when dealing with large repositories, and mirror just can't handle it.
I am migrating mirror.caosity.org to a new host which should be able to handle the load better. Also, I will be limiting the IP's that can rsync directly to mirror. Only the public mirrors will be allowed to connect directly to mirror.caosity.org via rsync.
Expect this migration to happen in the next several days, and please let me and the caos-mirror list know if there are any problems. Also, comments and concerns should be sent to caos-mirror@casosity.org.
Thanks. Greg

We need to change the instructions for becoming a mirror as it wont be possible to populate their mirror before telling us about it , we will need to request an access ip address first.
