hi: ftp.ncnu.edu.tw (163.22.12.51) provides the rsync service, and we would like to be a master sync mirror. http://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/Linux/CentOS/ ftp://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/Linux/CentOS/ rsync://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/centos/ (everything except dvd.iso) rsync://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/centos-incdvd/ (everything including dvd.iso) Lance Davis wrote: > Due to unknowns trying to download dvd.iso images from our msync-dvd > servers we have now had to restrict the rsync target to those mirrors that > we know are syncing. > > We want to restrict it further to those that are providing master sync > service for other mirrors, this will allow us to plan for future releases > to be able to preset the dvd isos onto those master mirrors before release > and dedicate bandwidth for that. > > The current mirrors that are allowed to sync by the config are :- > > #pacific.net.au 61.8.0.17 > #kernel.org 204.152.191.4 204.152.191.36 > #upce.cz 195.113.124.9 > #mirrorservice.org 212.219.56.140 > #esslingen.de 129.143.116.10 > #ncnu.edu.tw 163.22.12.51 > #vutbr.cz 147.229.176.19 > #ftp.chg.ru 193.233.9.194 > > Of those only 4 - kernel.org, mirrorservice.org, esslingen.de and chg.ru > have told us that they allow rsync, which has to be a prerequisite for > being a master sync mirror. > > If any of those are not happy to be listed as a master sync mirror for the > dvd isos , or have limits on bandwidth or resources that may be affected > then please advise us. > > We would be grateful if the others would change their config to sync the > dvd iso images from one of those, which will probably provide faster > download than our servers anyway. > > We will start to list all mirrors that carry dvd iso images on the website > and will shortly redirect browsing on mirror.centos.org to those > local mirrors that have the dvd isos and are up to date, as we do for cd > isos.
