I'd like to hear from the maintainers of cvsup2 and cvsup3 how heavily loaded they are currently. (I am already in touch with cvsup.freebsd.org.) I suspect that cvsup2 and cvsup3 aren't loaded to full capacity. I'd like to avoid adding another US mirror unless we really need it. Freefall gets a surprising load just from keeping all the mirror sites updated. I have an enhancement to CVSup that dramatically reduces the load on mirror sites, if I can just find the time to put together a release. It should enable our existing mirrors to increase their limit on the number of simultaneous clients. It's been in place on cvsup.freebsd.org for several weeks, and it seems to really help a lot. It only helps on mirror sites, though. It won't make any difference for freefall itself. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
