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 ihug engineering
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. http://mirror.ihug.co.nz/gentoo ftp://mirror.ihug.co.nz/gentoo Regards, Nick Freeman ihug engineering
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 Connecting to mirror.ihug.co.nz|203.109.134.101|:21... connected.

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 lftp mirror.ihug.co.nz:/gentoo> ls drwxr-xr-x 5 ftp ftp 2979840 Nov 9 09:00 distfiles drwxrwxr-x 17 ftp ftp 1024 Jun 22 18:29 experimental drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 1024 Sep 2 2004 grp -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 20 Nov 9 09:42 last-updated.txt drwxr-xr-x 160 ftp ftp 8192 Nov 9 09:57 portage drwxr-xr-x 15 ftp ftp 1024 Aug 8 23:43 releases drwxrwxr-x 3 ftp ftp 66560 Nov 9 02:05 snapshots lftp mirror.ihug.co.nz:/gentoo> cat last-updated.txt 2009-11-09,22:42:14 21 bytes transferred lftp mirror.ihug.co.nz:/gentoo> cat distfiles/timestamp.chk Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:00:26 +0000 33 bytes transferred lftp mirror.ihug.co.nz:/gentoo>
Kent, Appreciate your motivation here. Action will be had if the bug gets reopened like Comment #3 asks. Simply put, we need an active contact person as well as hardware/bandwidth :)
