Joining this thread a little late - sorry... Then we get back to the level of committment required to do that... With things as they are now, the 100GB / month (iirc) and massive number of hits is too big for all but larger organizations to commit to - and they normally often have politics involved that make such a decision more than one sysop can make (unless he's not worried about his job)... I for one would love to set up a mirror... if it was 10GB / 20GB / maybe even 30GB... but 100 and growing is a little too much of an unknown for me. I wouldn't want to opt in, and then have to opt out due to unanticipated and growing load... I've seen the notes about the new cap on daily sizes, maybe that will reduce download size... or maybe at some point a multi levle approach will be used... (main, monthly, daily, etc...) or something through the setup of the DNS that could allow people to volunteer to mirror at a second tier with some fraction of main-mirror bandwidth. Then we could get more mirrors, and reduce the load on each. Already the DNS system will eliminate downloads / connections to the mirrors if the version hasn't changed - right? So eventually we should be able to query more often. m/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
