The problem with US is not only that we miss some powerful mirrors in this region. We already discussed the possibility to have some "GeoIP based servers" hosting download.opensuse.org - but until now, our internet provider could not offer us some Nameservers that can handle requests based on the GeoIP of the requester. In a beautiful world, we would have: a) DNS servers pointing users to their closest incarnation of download.opensuse.org b) a lot of mirrors in the region which the redirector can redirect to
But isn't exactly what mirrorbrain is supposed to help do?
No, Lars is talking about having an US based mirrorbrain instance.
Ah, yes, that might make sense. Alternatively, how about a better connection/host for the current mirrorbrain? Wrt DNS, my company runs dns24.ch, we have no problem doing geoip-based dns views/zones. Please get in touch off-line if that could be helpful. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
