for arcticnetwork.ca:
- Would you be prepared to act as a hub for other (local) mirrors to sync
from - either by providing us with a server to use, or setting up an apache virtual host that we can point to (would have to be standard CentOS mirror structure ) - and an rsync module.
Yes. We currently offer CentOS via rsync. rsync.arcticnetwork.ca::centos
- Would you be prepared to feed a bittorrent of the centos tree for new
mirrors to use to sync ??
No. We are supported by our provider because we are a network-friendly alternative to Bittorrent. Bittorrent is bad.
- Would you be prepared to mirror dvd.iso files , (bearing in mind the
Our webserver (lighttpd) supports large files. We also offer our collections via FTP which supports large file sizes.
- Would you be prepared to mirror vault.centos.org
Not at this time due to disk space requirements.
Do you have any other suggestions ??
Are there any plans for a mirror status tool? Several other projects run something as simple as mirmon, or as complex as a custom automatic-notification monitoring tool, like CPAN has.
