Description Robert Hennig 2003-02-21 04:22:11 UTC

mirrors.serveftp.org is a ADS-Line with 128kbit/s upstream, hence doesn't meet
the requierements of a mirror.

Please remove it.  It is already removed from the round-robin in
rsync.de.gentoo.org.

Regardless of the speed, I was unable to get into the releases directory (permission denied) and the experimental directory (connection refused)  I'm removing this mirror temporarily until I can get in contact with the site admin.

Comment 2 Robert Hennig 2003-04-18 06:43:49 UTC

Well, contacting the site admin is just a waste of time.  Not just because its a T-Dialin-User who may don't care for mirroring, but because it _has_ only 128kbit/s upstream.

I wouldn't call it "Quality Assurance" if you make exceptions to your own requirements.

Right now, I have one user's claim that it's on a 128kbit upstream pipe.  I'm going to contact the site admin to try and verify that claim.  If it turns out to be true, we'll leave the mirror off the page.  If it turns out to be false, we'll likely add it back once the other issues are resolved.

I wouldn't call it "due diligence" if we yanked a mirror based on one unverified bug report.

Comment 4 Robert Hennig 2003-04-18 07:41:09 UTC

I can understand that you want to verify the information.
Since t-dialin.net is for normal customers of http://t-online.de/, they cannot have more
than 1.5 MBit/s downstream and 384 kbit/s upstream ADSL (see http://t-dsl.de for more information on the products (German) or ask users in IRC who are customers of T-Online (t-dialin.net)).  Commercial customers and other resellers are working under second level domain name t-interconnect.de.

HTH,
