Hi, I would like to host an official distfiles-only mirror in Hong Kong. It is available at http://gentoo.aditsu.net , with up to 50 Mbit allocated bandwidth.
Server specs: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz RAM: 2GB HDD: single SATA disk for now The http server is configured with 128 worker connections, not sure if that limits the number of concurrent user connections. Considering the bandwidth, I think it should be ok for up to 30 concurrent connections, after which it will get a bit slow. Rsync is already running every 4 hours to update the mirror.
Thanks for your donations of hardware and bandwidth. Little low of mirror-admin staff at the moment. Someone will get to this request soon.
Can you please add the following info: * Official mirror name * Admin contact
I don't know what to give for the mirror name.. is "aditsu.net" ok? Admin contact is, obviously, aditsu@yahoo.com. My name is Adrian Sandor. Note: just added a second HDD, and will set up RAID1 Thanks
Ok, that name is fine. Just needed to know what you wanted it listed as. Just curious, do you have additional space to mirror the rest and be a full mirror? We don't have any mirror in China at the moment. It is in the testing system now.
That's still the same kind of setup, not including rsync mirror, right? Well, if there's demand for it, I'll add the rest. I'll set it up in a few days.

Full mirror is ready now, and uses RAID1 (2 disks) for storage. I think the source mirrors guide ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml ) needs to be updated, the sizes are different now and "releases/historical" doesn't exist. Also, there's no example of rsync command parameters. I'm currently using: rsync ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles/ <path>/ -qrptl --bwlimit <limit> --delete --exclude="robots.txt" Does that look ok?

I'll be updating that in a week or so. Thanks for the reminder. > > Also, there's no example of rsync command parameters.

We just need to leave it in the queue for another week. I'll give you feedback if there is anything wrong. Thanks again.
Thanks for helping out Gentoo. I have added your mirror to our list at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.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. Thanks for the hardware and bandwidth!
Thanks, any reason why my mirror is listed under Switzerland? Also I didn't know there was a Switzerland in Asia, that's very interesting :)

Ok, now it shows under China. While it is not technically wrong, I'd rather see it listed under Hong Kong. HK is a special administrative region of China, and it has its own government, flag, currenty, tld, country code etc.
moved to Hong Kong, live in ~30 minutes.
Thanks a lot! By the way, seeing the average transfer speed, I'm pretty sure this server can handle 50+ concurrent connections without any slowdown. Also, it's configured with 2 worker processes and max. 128 connections each, so it should accept 256 concurrent connections.
Just updating the summary for easier searching later.
