</I>><i> i don't see any problem, if you read carefully the title is "proposal for
</I>><i> mageia", it is just a proposal to see if we can provide more capacity for

</I>
Well, IMHO, if we do provides enough capacity ( and I think we do unless
proven otherwise ), we may have better way to devote ressources, no ?
If we don't provides enough, then we need to know why in order to fix
the problem.
Getting more for the sake of getting more do not seems like a useful way
to spend our time.
><i> and (in a long-term vision), increase our users base without

</I>><i> connections.
</I>
Well, so far, the mirrors maintainers told that some of the proposed
solution would overload them.
And I do know that bittorrent was said to overload the routing
infrastructure of the internet ( more connections to keep, more routing,
etc ). Especially now that more and more networks are fragmented ( ie,
no more big /24 routing, the lack of ipv4 requires to redistribute small
part of the address space on various place )
So, maybe another proposal ?
