So do users have a suggestion on how to throttle / rate limit their mirror server? Mine sits on a gig-e connection, and I just got a call from campus IT questioning the amount of bandwidth I'm using...Right now, I'm running it "fully open", but I may have to restrict that, at least during certain hours. I run http, ftp, and rsync on my server. Thanks! --Jim On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 9:35 AM, Nick Olsen <Nick at 141networks.com> wrote: > Ours is quite bursty, Sits around only 5-30mb/s normally.

When the mirror was in full swing I was saturating my Gigabit switches. It's now been throttled to 20MBps during peak hours if you aren't on CA*Net or Canarie and if you are 50MBps during peak hours. >> > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-mirror mailing list > CentOS-mirror at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror >
