We have set up a new distfile-only mirror at http://osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/, and would like to have it added to the list of official "distfile only" mirrors.
Apologies for not getting to this earlier. I just ran a check, things look good : * Timestamp on osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu is Wed, 06 Dec 2006 03:07:55 +0000 * Current time in UTC is Wed Dec 6 05:48:07 UTC 2006 We will run a few more of these before adding you in. Would be nice to know the server specs and if you plan to limit the number of concurrent connections. Thanks!
Do let me know what you'd like to be listed as on the mirrors page as well.

It's a Sunfire v20z, single Opteron 242, 1 GB RAM, 73 GB SCSI. The rsync mirror is NFS mounted and hosted on a Sun StorEdge SCSI RAID array. That server is currently limited to a maximum of 15 rsync connections. That number will likely change as we find out how much extra load rsync is going to add to the machine. Hopefully it will go up, but we'll see. (In reply to comment #2) >Do let me know what you'd like to be listed as on the mirrors page as well. I'm not sure what you mean by this. As of right now we are only a partial mirror (portage + distfiles).

Purdue University, CERIAS or by some other name? Server looks good : * Timestamp on osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu is Sun, 07 Jan 2007 03:07:56 +0000 * Current time in UTC is Sun Jan 7 07:55:35 UTC 2007 As soon as I have the above info, I'll run another quick check and add you in.
Still looks good : * Timestamp on osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu is Sat, 24 Feb 2007 07:08:03 +0000 * Current time in UTC is Sat Feb 24 11:46:24 UTC 2007 Waiting on info requested in comment #4
Still okay. * Timestamp on osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu is Sun, 06 May 2007 10:08:06 +0000 * Current time in UTC is Sun May 6 15:20:25 UTC 2007 Still waiting for info on Comment #4
> Still waiting for info on Comment #4 Shyam, Sorry about the delay. We prefer to be referred to as: CERIAS, Purdue Univeristy Thanks, --Ed

looks good : * Timestamp on osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu is Sun, 05 Aug 2007 06:07:55 +0000 * Current time in UTC is Sun Aug 5 09:02:47 UTC 2007 Adding you in. Thanks for helping out Gentoo. I have added your mirror to our list at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml. Please start syncing from masterdistfiles.gentoo.org as the email I have sent to you instructs. We would like you to subscribe to the gentoo-mirrors Mailing List by sending an email to gentoo-mirrors-subscribe@lists.gentoo.org, as we send out notifications of updates, releases, and changes in policy to the mirrors. Please also monitor http://mirrorstats.gentoo.org as this application is used to keep track of the up-to-date nature of our mirrors. Once again, thanks for the hardware and bandwidth! For Infrastructure, Shyam Mani
