Hello
Starting this week, the RLUG community operates three mirrors, all of them serving Centos content: ftp.ines.lug.ro, ftp.gts.lug.ro and ftp.nb.lug.ro. We mirror all archs, all versions. Content is available via ftp and http from all the servers.

Could you please add ftp.ines.lug.ro and ftp.gts.lug.ro to the list of Romanian mirrors ? As far as I can see, they are not listed yet. Both serve data over ftp and http. All three of our mirrors carry Centos 4 and 5.
you now have 3 entries on the mirror list Romanian Linux Users Group (nb,ines,gts), check if it ok ;)
Thank you, Tru. The list is not yet updated but I assume that in a couple of hours we'll see the changes
The mirror list is already very large - would it not be better just to list those mirrors under a single dns entry that CentOS could use ??
We have tried in the past to use round robin addresses ( ftp.centos.lug/ro/centos ), but in practice it proved to be a bad idea. I can elaborate about that on IRC if you want / need details. I strongly advocate for removing the 6 non Romanian sites from the list. This way we would have only 6 solid mirrors with 4 of them hosted by some of the largest Internet providers in the country. And as I have said before, given that there is no peering with .cz and .pl, including their sites in the list presented to Romanian users is a very poor choice which has no longer any justification, especially given the existence of a sufficient number of national mirrors.
