    * Mirror type: distfiles/releases, gentoo-portage. NOTE: gentoo-portage is always rsync only. Some mirrors may have rsync for distfiles as well. Do not be confused by the difference!
    * URLs: full protocol and path for release/distfile mirrors, hostname or IP for gentoo-portage mirrors
    * Hardware specifications
    * Bandwidth specifications (transfer speed, eg 100Mbit, and any limits you may have)
    * Location
    * Intended concurrent users (for each protocol, mirror type)

You are only syncing once a day?  You are supposed to be syncing every 4 hours, starting at midnight local time.  Please make this adjustment and let us know when its done.  I'll add you to our testing system after that.

Thanks,

Mark

Done with the sync time. Every 4 hours a day.

I have added you into our testing system.  We'll monitor the mirror for the next 2 weeks, and if everything looks good, the mirror will be added as an official one.

[Comment 6 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2010-04-08 03:55:37 UTC]

It looks like you are about 9 hours out of sync right now.  Could you please make sure everything is working correctly on your side?

Thanks,

Mark

Really? Our log show the last successful update is ending at 2010-04-08 09:00 GMT+8, it is about 3 hours ago.

Looks back in sync now, probably just a random failure.

[Comment 9 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2010-04-09 19:11:32 UTC]

As of Fri Apr  9 19:10:49 UTC 2010, it looks like your last sync was 8 hours ago.  Which source mirror are you syncing from?

Our log still show nothing wrong....
We sync from gentoo.chem.wisc.edu

[Comment 11 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2010-04-10 14:36:52 UTC]

That would be why.  Please sync from: ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles.

Please make sure you have read http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml and have everything set up correctly.

Thanks,

Mark

I am so sorry for my mistake.
The sync server has been changed to ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles.

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 [e-mail], 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!
