Clojars provides a few static data feeds[1]: - a list of poms in the repo (all-poms.txt.gz) - a list of all releases in the repo (all-jars.clj.gz) - an expanded list of releases, including more metadata from the poms (feed.clj.gz)
We're evaluating our bandwidth usage in anticipation of moving the repository to a CDN to improve availability, and noticed some odd request patterns for these feeds. There are sites/services out there that make (sometimes heavy) use of these feeds, so I want to point out that they are only updated hourly, so requesting them more often gives you no benefit. Even though it's only 1.4MB in size, feed.clj.gz alone accounted for ~20% (~200GB) of Clojars' bandwidth usage for the past month, with one client requesting it 30 times *per minute*. So if you (or someone you love) uses one of these feeds, can you confirm that you are caching a copy for at least an hour before retrieving the latest version? Thanks!
