Description Nick Freeman 2007-07-18 03:38:31 UTC
Hi,

I work for ihug, a New Zealand ISP. I have set up a full mirror for gentoo and would like to be added to the official list - I have set the mirror to sync every 4 hours as per requirements on your website.

I can be contacted either at my listed email address or in #gentoo-mirrors on freenode, where my nick is vtee.

Regards,

Nick Freeman

Additional information:

This is run by a pair of 2-CPU 2.3Ghz Xeon servers, each with 1GB of memory and attached to 4TB of high availability network storage. Load is balanced between the 2 machines, and I have a dedicated third machine to sync with the gentoo archives. These machines have 1 Gigabit uplink.

Hey Nick,

Apologies for the delay. 

Seems like FTP has an issue...

 * Checking ftp mirror : mirror.ihug.co.nz

--2008-02-28 19:52:38--  ftp://mirror.ihug.co.nz/gentoo/distfiles/timestamp.chk
           => `/tmp/timestamp.chk'
Resolving mirror.ihug.co.nz... 203.109.134.101

But http looks good :

 * Timestamp on mirror.ihug.co.nz is Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:08:09 +0000
 * Current time in UTC is Thu Feb 28 11:59:13 UTC 2008

So once you make sure ftp is okay, we can add you in.

Timing this out for now, please re-open when the FTP is working fine, we'll be glad to add you in.

I would love to see this mirror get added to the list. 

We lost our Citylink mirror earlier in the year and its been quite annoying. At present, there no listed NZ Distfiles mirrors at all. 

( The citylink mirror still ships releases, but somebody pruned distfiles. Interestingly, mirror.3fl.net.au dropped everything the same week ) 

ftp appears to function:

$ lftp ftp://mirror.ihug.co.nz/gentoo
cd ok, cwd=/gentoo
