Hi,
I've set up a new centos mirror at the nic.funet.fi
Thanks - it is appreciated
Direct DVD Downloads.: Yes please, but
it seems I'd need first access to my-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd to make it happen. Could that be arranged? Other mirrors could rsync from us too as long as we are not the only source. I'd hope the 2GB limit will gradually disappear... It's practically the same bits as in the set of CDs so if most sites supported DVDs I'd suppose the load would not rise much (rsync, pureftpd, http 2.2.x and Solaris 10 at least seems to be working combination).
If you could please do an initial sync against ine of the other rsync mirrors that carry dvd images - that would save our servers a lot of bandwidth - and they are more likely better connected to you than we are.
Having said that, we do need to formalise our approach to dvd downloads and a request has been made that all mirrors that offer dvd by rsync should have a separate rsync target for them (or including them) , which I am inclined to agree with and need to formalise shortly. Any comments welcome ...
