Hi Tru,
What are the current settings for removing mirrors from the mirror list? I was under the impression that there is already an automated script that removes any mirror which is not responding. Or perhaps that's only for the mirrorlist and not mirror-status?
Regards, Alex

Hello everyone,
First, let me thank you all for providing a public CentOS mirror. There are now over 170 sites registered :D
I would like your feedback on the proper way to warn the public mirrors monitored at http://mirror-status.centos.org/ that something is going wrong.
I was thinking of:
1st email inquiry : "what's up?"
- timestamp > 3 days late or server not responding for > 3 days
2nd email inquiry : "what's wrong?"
- timestamp > 7 days late or server not responding for > 7 days
If no news after the 2nd inquiry, remove the server from the list after another grace delay of 7 days.
Of course that the general idea, there can be lots of good reason to have a late/lagging mirror. We can just also remove the server from the mirrorlist (most visible annoyance from a lamda user perspective, imho).
Any input welcome,
Cheers,
Tru
