Jim, Yours is .EDU mirror number 3 with performance issues: 11-20kB/sec on verizon fios as I type this. After discussion with another .EDU maintainer, the dismal speeds were do to hard core bandwidth capping on their web server (mod_bandwidth). My suggestion is that anyone running a bandwidth limiter of any sort, or with limited connectivity (<1Gbps upstream these days is limited) should be placed on Tier2 status. -- Randy M. www.FastServ.com ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Jim Kusznir <jkusznir at gmail.com> To: "Mailing list for CentOS mirrors." <centos-mirror at centos.org> Sent: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 12:59:49 -0700 Subject: Re: [CentOS-mirror] Terrible .edu mirror performance > RE: edu bandwidth: > > I run centos.eecs.wsu.edu, and I do watch the university's bandwidth. > I know that these days most universities have huge pipes, and we're > actually in the "smaller" catagory, as we only have an OC-12 > (622Mbps), although local management is working to upgrade this. > > That said, my mirror will max out well before our bandwidth.
