It's not hard > to create a new rsync target with "exclude = *DVD.iso" or "exclude = > isos-dvd/" I see what you mean - and think I agree with you :) By the same token someone who switches to a mirror with dvd's that didnt have them will get an extra 25 GB they didnt expect. The latter is preferable as there are also *dvd.iso to consider. The issue now is that we will need to get existing dvd mirrors to comply .... Guys - any chance .... Or do people not agree ....

CentOS-Live-CD on torrent
by Stefan Neufeind, SpeedPartner GmbH 14 May '06

14 May '06

Dear folks, we are actively seeding ISOs of CentOS on the torrent. But we miss a torrent for the current Live-CD (i386) that was released lately. How about adding such a torrent, and also releasing a .torrent-file for the mirrors? Regards, Stefan Neufeind

Re: [CentOS-mirror] Becoming a CentOS mirror
by Graham Frank 13 May '06

Hey, My mirror currently uses about 66GB of space and 10 Mbps bandwidth (95th). When new releases are made, expepct a jump of about 10 GB of disk usage for the week or two following the release. --Graham Frank -----Original Message----- From: Simon Boulet <simon(a)iweb.ca> Subj: [CentOS-mirror] Becoming a CentOS mirror Date: Fri May 12, 2006 2:06 pm Size: 1K To: centos-mirror(a)centos.org Hi, My name is Simon Boulet, I am System Administrator and Responsible of the Technological Development for iWeb.ca, one of the biggest Web hosting provider in Canada. iWeb has been using open source softwares since the beginning in 1996.

inconsistencies between CentOS I, CentOS J and CentOS R
by Guido S. Nickels 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi! We are syncing our mirrors from msync.centos.org, which seems to be pointing to at least three different machines ("I", "J" and "R"). Unfortunately all of them offer different data. Attached, you can find a time-stamped log of test-syncs I did to figure out what is going wrong. I assume this behaviour is not really wanted, is it? Guido S.

Only .torrents to mirrors?
by H. Peter Anvin 08 May '06

08 May '06

Okay, I'm confused. The CentOS mirror on mirrors.kernel.org is missing at least all the DVD isos, and all there is there is a .torrent file. We have tons of disk space and bandwidth, and denying users the ability to use the mirror network for these probably hurts more than it helps (we are consistently faster than Bittorrent during Fedora Core releases, for example, and that is an extremely popular fileset during peak traffic.) Can these be re-enabled, at least for the mirror sites who wants to carry them? -hpa

DVD iso rsync target- HEADER.*
by Kasparek Tomas 05 May '06

05 May '06

It seems that msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd rsync target is missing HEADER.html and HEADER.images - just to notify, maybe it's right for some reason.

We have a similar situation we have virtually unlimited bandwidth and disk space. I would be perfectly happy to carry the full dvd .iso's.
