Dropping the DVDs would probably be more noticeable than the
patches.

Subject: [CentOS-mirror] RayStedman.org Bandwidth
Good
Afternoon,
We have
excess bandwidth that we have been donating to the CentOS.org mirror for
several months now. We are starting to exceed the available bandwidth we
have available on our server. I performed some traffic analysis and find
that on the 17th of April there was a significant increase in daily
traffic from the mirror. Our bandwidth consumption increased from 25GB
per day to over 150GB per day and has been holding steady at this level.
Our monthly allocation of bandwidth will be exceeded if we continue at this
rate.
We would like
to continue donating bandwidth to CentOS.org but we need to find a way to
control the amount of bandwidth that it is consistent with our monthly
allocation. We currently support all releases and the DVDs. Is the
correct answer to reduce the amount of content we support on the mirror?
Perhaps we should support release 5.x only?
Please give
me your thoughts on how to best remain below our monthly bandwidth allocation
and support the CentOS.org community at the same time.
Have a great
day everyone! Greg
