Message-ID: <4599bff90803162028q13f951a1waaa5af17b591816b@mail.gmail.com> Hi all, I'm running a gem mirror on my machine (server located in Germany) and I'm currently thinking about making it a public mirror (if you are interested). http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/5/231/mirror_setup.html mentions that 300 GB Bandwidth per month is needed (for both file and gem mirrors). As the disk space for the gems alone is about 2 GB now (as opposed to 1 GB as of 6/15/2007) I was wondering what the current bandwidth usage for a mirror is? I'm happy to contribute the 300 GB bandwidth per month mentioned, but 300GB would be the upper limit... Is there a way of only mirroring the gems and throttling the bandwidth usage?

Is there a way of only mirroring the > gems and throttling the bandwidth usage? Hi Stefan - Thanks! Actually, I think we're all set for mirrors right now... we've got a fair number, and adding more wouldn't really make much difference at the moment. But thanks anyhow! Also, thanks for the size notes, I've updated the mirror_setup.html document to reflect the new size requirements.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, I'm a Gentoo developer, one of those who are maintaining Gentoo ruby packages. I would like to have permission for Gentoo to use rubyforge mirrors directly instead of getting through /frs/download.php. The reason is it would be easier for us to maintain source URIs in form of mirror://rubyforge/package-name/package-name-plus-version.tar.gz than .../frs/download.php/some-random-numbers/package.tar.gz. For the latter, we would have to modify source URI for every rubyforge-based package update, which is quite a burden. Portage, the software used to install packages for Gentoo, will choose randomly a mirror, so it won't push pressure to any particular mirror. Moreover, Gentoo has its own mirror servers to share the load with upstream. So I don't think it would hurt rubyforge in any way.

So I don't think it would hurt rubyforge in any way. Just to close the loop, Nguyen and Dennis and I emailed about this and he's going to use rubyforge.rubyuser.de directly, Yours, tom
