There are also 4 non centos.org nodes that are actually fetching vault content , and those have better bandwidth/machines that we do (reminder : we're using community donated dedicated servers). I can't speak for those external mirrors, and I have zero view on their bandwidth usage/stats for vault content. OTOH, I (personally) think that vault is like giving a gun for people to shoot themselves in the foot : using deprecated/unpatched/unsecured/unmaintained packages on a distro is not what I'd consider best practice. There are a *few* corner cases where it can be handy, but those are already mirroring internally those versions, for specific usage, and don't rely on vault.centos.org - -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlUuTGcACgkQnVkHo1a+xU5IfACfauoOQCDY5s1TqN2W7cArOen+ Mx8AoJSQFIJMqHQq4QUrvIX5YluFBS9e =jMgF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
