RE: JetStream/Start DHCP woes , FTP & capping

So what we need is some gigantic LOCAL storage of the more popular files that multiple people are requesting from some OVERSEAS location.
(I know, I know -- it was suggested 10 years ago. And there are copyright issues. And expiry. And maintenance. And backup. And setup cost...)
Still, it could be a valuable service an ISP might offer and benefit themselves to boot!

Well, National Bandwith is not a problem but, the *REAL* issue is that most people get JetStart inorder to download movies/warez (this is what gives an ISP a big big big loss) because most content being transferred is International.

Hi all, My main webserver sits on the Auckland peering exchange, (Local CBD fibre connection - I commonly get 6 Mbps transfers from other APE connected sites), and is grunty. If anyone would like to submit me a proposal, offlist, I am willing to consider anything. If this involves a good percentage of Linux software - well even better... :-) Best regards, -- Michael Hallager Managing Director Comsolve Networks (NZ) Limited E-Mail: michael(a)comsolve.net.nz Website: http://www.comsolve.net.nz Proudly providing hosting exclusively to 100% family-safe content sites. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
Im not sure about other ISPs but I know Quicksilver have put something small-scale in place recently. ftp://mirror.qsi.net.nz It was announced in our last newsletter, the idea being to have a mirror of commonly required files housed on a local server.

Is FTP sufficient or would you want a website interface to go with it? (Theres your maintenance cost...) Mark. At 02:11 12/01/2002 +1300, Michael Hallager wrote:

Recently? I know qsi has had the openbsd mirror for at least two years, even the official nz mirror: [nic(a)inktiger:~] host ftp.nz.openbsd.org ftp.nz.openbsd.org CNAME mirror.qsi.net.nz mirror.qsi.net.nz A 202.89.128.30 Hell I used them for grabbing the 2.7 snapshots. Most ISP, plus citylink already have mirrors of the popular linux stuff. (Although I wish someone would start mirror deb-src again, they all seemed to haved disappear - even the Australian one.) What maybe is lacking for these sorts of files is user education, but I don't know the stats of tranfers from the international linux mirrors. At the end of the day the kinda files (like what ftp.jetstreamgames.co.nzi had) had are difficult to mirror as they are so cyclic. Good one day, bad the next. -- Nicholas Lee - nj.lee at plumtree.co dot nz, somewhere on the fish Maui caught. gpg. 8072 4F86 EDCD 4FC1 18EF 5BDD 07B0 9597 6D58 D70C icq. 1612865 Quixotic Eccentricity - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
Yeah, as was pointed out by Joe (who should know), its been there a while. My mistake. I didnt know it was there untill recently, the first Id heard about it was when it was mentioned in our newsletter (amazing the things you miss even when youve been working there for months...) :) At 13:56 12/01/2002 +1300, Nicholas Lee wrote:
