Hi,<div><br></div><div>We would like to host a mirror for CentOS.  Earlier, we used to have our own CentOS repository for all the 5, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 versions, so that we could do a local yum.  We used to run the following daily at 2200hrs UTC:</div>


<div><br></div><div>rsync -v -aH --progress --bwlimit=3072 rsync://<a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos" target="_blank">mirrors.kernel.org/centos</a> /data/web/centos</div><div><br></div><div>Now, after going through the Public Mirror How-To, we ran the following:</div>


<div><br></div><div>rsync -v -aH --progress --delete --bwlimit=3072 msync.centos.org::CentOS /data/web/centos</div><div><br></div><div>And, we found that it deleted all files we had for 5, 5.2 and 5.3.  So, we did another rsync with &quot;<a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org" target="_blank">mirrors.kernel.org</a>&quot;, and then did another rsync with &quot;<a href="http://msync.centos.org" target="_blank">msync.centos.org</a>&quot; but this time without the &quot;--delete&quot; flag.  So, now we also have all the ISOs available at &quot;<a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org">mirrors.kernel.org</a>&quot;.</div>


<div><br></div><div>Is it ok to run the rsync without the &quot;--delete&quot; flag?</div><div><br></div><div>Our mirrors can be reached at: <a href="http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd/centos" target="_blank">http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd/centos</a></div>

<div>We are located in Dhaka, Bangladesh.</div><div>Cron job runs twice a day at 0900 and 2100hrs UTC.</div><div>Our uplink for this mirror will be dynamically allocated between 5 - 50 Mbps, depending on our network load.  Is that acceptable?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Is it also possible to have our name as one of the possible resolutions against yum updates?</div><div><br></div><div>We apologize beforehand if some of the questions above sound a bit too naive.  This is the first time we are hosting officially for CentOS.</div>
