Message-ID: <1152137420.4278.11.camel@bugs.hal> Hi all - Mirror providers ahoy! After a long hiatus (during which Dennis' network has carried 95% of the load), we've sorted out the mechanisms necessary for more folks to help out with the RubyForge bandwidth load. The new setup (*) is in place and ready to go. Here's the current list: rubyforge.rubyuser.de: gems, files rubyforge.halostatue.info: gems rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk: gems, files To host a file mirror requires about 3.5 GB of disk space and you'll need about 400 MB to host a gem mirror. I'm not exactly sure about bandwidth usage, although I suspect it's about 400 GB per month if you're hosting both a gem and a file mirror. So, who wants to sign up first? :-) Thanks, Tom (*) http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/5/231/mirror_setup.html From tom at infoether.com Wed Jul 5 18:55:43 2006 From: tom at infoether.com (Tom Copeland) Date: Wed, 05 Jul 2006 18:55:43 -0400 Subject: [Support-mirrors] Another mirror provider?

OK, Manuel's mirror is in the loop, thanks to Manuel for sharing the load! Four mirrors are now up and running: http://rubyforge.org/credits/ I'm going to improve the docs a bit to make the process more clear. And I think Gregory Brown is next up, so Gregory, once I've got those docs updated I'll drop you a line... Thanks to all, Tom From tom at infoether.com Wed Jul 26 22:04:26 2006 From: tom at infoether.com (Tom Copeland) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 22:04:26 -0400 Subject: [Support-mirrors] Mirroring all files Message-ID: <1153965866.941.94.camel@bugs.hal> Hi all - Right now the mirroring threshold is set at 200K, so that only files larger than that get mirrored. If we mirrored out all the files, it'd only be an additional 100 MB or so of storage space on each mirror (it'd go from 3.5GB to 3.6GB) and it seems like it would reduce some complexity. And we're already mirroring out all the gems, regardless of size. So, would anyone object to just mirroring out all the files regardless of size?

Hearing no objections... all files are now being served by mirrors! Good times, Tom
