Consider filtering the source distribution, and maybe some of the more arcane architiectures - currently we carry slink and potato for i386 and sparc, and the archive is only 3.6Gb <abject grovel follows> Joe, if you have disk space problems (rather than bandwidth/cost issues), would you consider running a private FTP proxy for other sites doing mirroring? The Citylink server has always been only a few strokes of the cost cutters pen from oblivion - we'd happily fess up with the disk space for a full Debian mirror if we didn't have to pay some fairly hefty traffic bills. You could limit access by time and source/dest IP to avoid abuse. <grovel off>
So, here's the question: does anybody know of other locations in NZ where the archives above are already mirrored?
the above is also at ftp://ftp.citylink.co.nz/pub/linux/
Is this supposed to be common knowledge? Si?
Yep, it was in the mirrors.txt for Debian for several years, it's more commonly now accessed as http://linux.wellington.net.nz/debian , or ftp://linux.wellington.net.nz/pub/linux/debian for those recidivists who haven't upgraded to apt. and also http://linux.wellington.net.nz/debian-non-US for the munitions.
