Description mirror 2012-01-25 19:05:42 UTC
Our company is hosting a Portage and main archive mirror at the following URL:

ftp:

ftp://mirror.ubiquityservers.com/gentoo-portage
ftp://mirror.ubiquityservers.com/gentoo

http:

http://mirror.ubiquityservers.com/gentoo-portage
http://mirror.ubiquityservers.com/gentoo

rsync:

[gentoo-portage]
mirror.ubiquityservers.com::gentoo-portage

[gentoo]
mirror.ubiquityservers.com::gentoo

The portage tree is syncing twice every hour. The Gentoo main share is syncing twice daily. Both are available via rsync (chrooted), HTTP and FTP. We are seeking to become a registered mirror available via 'http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml'.

Reproducible: Always

Hello. On behalf of the mirror-admin team, I want to apologize for not getting back to your bug report. At this time, we are closing ALL new mirror request bugs.

The Gentoo Linux Infrastructure team and the mirror-admin team have found that a plethora of community mirrors exist and adding more requires an exponential amount time from us then we have available. As such, this becomes a more poor user experience than desired because the team cannot keep up. The Gentoo Linux project is not contrained in hardware resources and does not need anymore mirrors (even if your request is for a country that is not represented currently).

Thanks for understanding and thank you for your interest.
With regards,
Jeremy
