for the sizes (at this time) : 22G for 3.4 15G for 4.0 yum.conf : simply replace mirror.centos.org/centos with your http server/path --------------- [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 [update] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 ... -------------- for the scripts, it is preferred to use lockfiles, preventing multiple copies running concurrently, and setting bandwidth limits (in KB/s). Put the script in your crontab, running once a day or more. as the team wrote : Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public CentOS mirror use a mirror listed at http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the notes at :- http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15 as Shaun wrote (with little modifications): --------------[CODE]---------------- #!/bin/sh RSYNC="/usr/bin/rsync" RSYNC_OPTS="-aHv --delete --bwlimit=512 " if [ -f "/var/run/mirror.pid" ]; then RUNPID=`cat /var/run/mirror.pid` if ps -p $RUNPID; then echo "Mirror is already running..." exit 1 else echo "Mirror pid found but process dead, cleaning up" rm -f /var/run/mirror.pid fi else echo "No Mirror Process Detected" fi echo $$ > /var/run/mirror.pid echo -n "Mirror Started at " date #CentOS Mirror $RSYNC $RSYNC_OPTS msync.centos.org::CentOS /path/to/local/mirror/root echo -n "Mirror Ended at " date rm -f /var/run/mirror.pid ------------------------------------ for the archives, look at the bottom of your post, there is an url.

New mirror set up
by FutureFlex :: [ A. Trouwborst ] 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

L.S., I have set up a new public Tier1 mirror for CentOS at http://mirror.futureflex.nl/centos/. This mirror is HTTP only and feeds directly from our main backbone in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We have capped the mirror to OC3 (155mbps) capacity and set it to rsync every hour. The bandwidth services are provided by ourselves, FutureFlex B.V., http://www.futureflex.nl/. Kind regards, Ad Trouwborst FutureFlex.
