I've tried a couple of those low cost vendors.
I would expect a usable opensuse mirror to provide multiple GBs/hr of bandwidth minimum.
My experience is vendors of this type provide Hours / GB of bandwidth. (ie. the reciprocal of what we need.)
ie. Even SpiderOak whom opensuse is now partnering with in some way is only offering about half a GB/hr of bandwidth or less. (I have 300GB+ at SpiderOak and it took weeks of 24hr/day traffic to get it there.)
I earlier used Dreamhost. It took several months to upload a similar amount of data to them.

If several of these were used they would have a combined throughput of several GB/hr. Think of it like using torrent, with one "seeder" the throughput is low and the more you have the faster it gets. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
