Its the no.1 reason why noone else wants to go down that route. As for the mirror network, if you are a public mirror you should be pulling from the msync targets anyway ( and we try and keep those controlled to ensure there is enough b/w to go around ). We do need better monitoring within that, and is something we should get done soon. If you are not a public mirror, you should *not* be pulling from anything .centos.org and just going to your trusted local upstream. There is potent to better define this and to merge in the various sources of info that exist on .centos.org! -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
