I've been running an unofficial mirror for a while, but now that I've got some new hardware, it's time to make it official:

Sponsor: University of Utah - Center for High Performance Computing Sponsor link: http://www.chpc.utah.edu/ Mirror URL: http://mirror.chpc.utah.edu/pub/centos rsync://mirror.chpc.utah.edu/pub/centos Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Bandwidth: 1 gbit Versions: All Architectures: All DVD ISOs: Yes Sync Frequency: Every 6 hours

Did I leave anything out?

I'm currently synching against mirrors.kernel.org (I tried using msync.centos.org and it blew away the DVD images). What's the magic spell to use msync without losing the DVDs?

Dave,

We have a limited number of mirrors that can sync out the DVDs ... and a different name to use. (It might be faster to sync from an outside source like you are already doing)

Mirrors that sync the DVDs from centos.org are approved individually and allowed in by IP address.

Is that mirror (mirror.chpc.utah.edu) making the connection directly or will you have a different IP hitting the mirrors ... I added the IP I got from your mirrors name lookup.

After a server is added, you can sync via:

msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd

(I added your machine's IP, so if it is connecting out with that IP, you should be able to sync now. If you use a different IP outbound, contact me off list and I'll make the changes to allow access)

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
