Then we have ~20 other sites that rsync with ibiblio on a regular basis. Ibiblio is a great mirror to use b/c by default there are already several other sites mirroring it.<br> +<br>Then we have a mirror monitoring system that reports the status of the mirrors.<br><a href="http://unity-linux.org/mm/mirrorstatus.html">http://unity-linux.org/mm/mirrorstatus.html</a><br><br> |
