This is an extension of a tread I started over on the openSUSE user list.
When 11.0 was released, the openSUSE servers staggered a bit under the load of so many people hammering away trying to either grab the torrent files or download via ftp. The result was that a large number of us (myself included) waited several days before we were even able to get near the website so that we could download the torrent files and get started with downloading/seeding.
? software.o.o was the last time quite stable and reachable iirc. The plan is again to have a window of approx. 30h where we don't redirect the requests to the mirrors, instead you can download the iso's from akamai, with full speed. Use software.o.o, don't use torrent or mirrors. Let's try to break the 200TB mark this time :-) http://news.opensuse.org/2008/06/24/numbers/ And yes, i will blog about it later. -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch@suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
