Re: [CentOS-mirror] Re: CentOS-mirror Digest, Vol 21, Issue 10

I was interested in starting a mirror, but I was wondering what the average bandwidth usage of the mirrors were? I have a 100 Mbit server in the Giga-Intrenational Datacenter (Germany) and I would like to donate a mirror but I was just curious as too how much on average the usage was.

On my mirror (mirror.chpc.utah.edu), I find that the throughput is pretty low, but it's always there. You can see the usage graph of my mirror at:

All together, I push roughly 40-60 gigabytes per day.

I have seen days of 100GB+ but on average I would say that 40-60GB/day is about right. I usually see an average of about 10-20MBit/s. Sometimes spiking as high as 60MBit/s.
