Status of the contribs.org mirrors
To view the status of contribs.org mirrors, look at http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors.
Accessing the contribs.org mirros
To access the contribs.org download mirrors, always use the URL http://mirror.contribs.org.
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/... http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/...
You will automatically be redirected to a mirror that is current within the last 8 hours.
How to become a mirror site?
If you or your company has some spare bandwidth and would like to be included in mirror.contribs.org, you can use rsync to do something like this:
rsync -aHhimOSz --partial --timeout 300 --delay-updates --delete-after --delete \ --max-delete 1000 ibiblio.org::Linux/distributions/smeserver/ /home/smeserver/
If you don't have the latest rsync then some of the options may cause issues (m,h) you are fine to remove any that aren't supported in your version of rsync.
After your mirror is synced, let us know by filing a bug report on bugs.contribs.org under the website category or by following this link . Thanks!
Figures
Harddisk size
The amount of physical harddisk size taken up by the contribs.org data will be about 25Gb, the /release tree, which holds the iso images and the repositories, accounts for about 6Gb of said amount. The /contribs tree will account for a little over 3Gb of the total.
Bandwith
Due to the small number of mirrors, the bandwidth routed to your servers will be in the order of 200Gb/month on average, which translates to about 80kB/s.
