Hello,
I wanted to setup a mirror that CentOS could use, but I was wondering if a smallish VM such as what I already pay for would be enough for this?
I pay monthly for a VM from Bytemark which is used to run my website and receive email, however apart from that there is not much happening on that VM. That is why I was thinking I might be able to help by offering its use as a mirror.
I have 512MB of RAM and 20G of disk space available.
Please let me know,
Thanks, Khusro

Would it not be possible for me to mirror just CentOS 5 or CentOS 6 only? Maybe even just a single architecture (without DVDs) to bring disk space requirements down?
I will email Bytemark to ask how much more I would have to pay to increase the disk space. I assume you are saying that I need at least 200GB to start with.
i would advise you to not use a VM for mirroring.
You should need a unmetered connection, otherwhise you will use more data than is included in your package and you will get high bills.

Also, keep in mind that the bytemark mirror is one of the fastest on the centos network in the UK - I suspect its easily more than a few hundred megs/sec; So setting up another one inside their network would be of academic interest ( if you were doing it for a public mirror, which I suspect you were thinking of since you are on this list.. )
Perhaps Alex can confirm ? ( http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk )

Yes I did think about this initially and I should really look for somewhere *outside* the Bytemark network for a good public mirror, possible in a country/area where there is poor coverage at the moment. The trouble is getting that kind of disk space and bandwidth from other providers might be difficult and very expensive.
