I'd like to thank you for beeing part of the 11.4 launch and would be interested to get some numbers on how it went if you have some!

Some hours went fine with a max of about 400 Mbit/s, but then it faded out, and our mirror ftp.klid.dk is not listed for our country DK, although all files should be there. What could be the problem?

best regards keld

back when you registered the mirror you gave us http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/opensuse/ as base url. but a request to it is just hanging not even rejected.

normally we avoid having ftp only mirrors, so that might be the reason why you dropped from the listing. any specific reason why you disabled the webserver?

and just as i send the mail my hanging curl, finally got a connection. It seems your apache has a few performance issues. If you want i can share the config from widehat.opensuse.org. (catch me on irc)

The http server is there, I just got data from it, but it is slow, that is why we prefer ftp.

if FTP works reasonably fast and http is just dirt slow (it just took *90*seconds to answer a simple HEAD request), it means your httpd config is broken. even apache can handle tons of static file requests without noticable load on the machine itself. download.o.o didnt even break load 2 during the release.

as i said ... we had issues with FTP only mirrors in the past and disabled them. If you want help with fixing the webserver to handle the load aswell, drop me a mail.

I noticed that the IP database in MirrorBrain outdated. As an example, my home IP address from a pool of 178.54.0.0 is defined as unknown. Although maxmind (MirrorBrain use this database) said that it is Ukraine (UA). This problem of obsolete bases at the download.opensuse.org or MirrorBrain project?

MirrorBrain provides tools to keep GeoIP data and BGP data (ASN numbers) up to date. These tools need to be run regularly by cron by the admin of the MirrorBrain install. It is explained here:

The 1 Gbit/s Link of our http/ftp Server ftp.uni-ulm.de (Germany) was saturated from 3:30pm until 10pm (CET). Our upstream is 10 Gbit/s. Therefore I added some bittorrent seeders. Within the last 24 hours I distributed the equivalent of

1292 openSUSE-11.4-DVD-x86_64.iso 1111 openSUSE-11.4-DVD-i586.iso

images via Bittorrent seeding

I did a test this morning and downloaded via torrent at home and while I had > 1000 seeders, 95% of my incoming traffic (~700KB/s) was from 4 different seeders at uni-ulm.de :)

I then did another direct download and had the same saturation from uni- erlangen.de - living in germany is great for openSUSE users, you mirror guys rock.
