Thanks. Well, I am sure ftp.gwdg.de is an "excellent site" within your stated aspects, but from a "german" view, ftp.gwdg.de (Daniel Lang) should qualify before ftp.gwdg.de because his server is running FreeBSD. Iam running Linux "only" in the sense of some participants here.. ;-)) Anyways, ftp.gwdg.de is ftp2.de.freebsd.org. Location: Germany Mirror: full Internet Connection: 1 GBit/sec Limits: ftp 8192, http 2048, rsync 333 These limits are merely to detect race conditions, not to limit anything; the real limit is I/O per seconds from the filesystem, but ftp.gwdg.de has 12 GB RAM and by this a huge buffer cache; the current total output rate is 50 TB/month. sync: 2 times a day with ftp-master.cz.freebsd.org (which probably would qualify better, if interested). Existing and well-established: yes. ;-)) Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
