If you have sufficient bandwidth somewhere to host a mirror, and the main problem you experience with security.debian.org is excessive variation in performance, you could run a nightly mirror job. That's what I did here when we had 2 T1s of connectivity for a few thousand students, faculty, staff, etc. I'm not sure if I actually saved bandwidth in the long run (I mirrored the whole tree, regardless of architecture, and I've never installed many of the packages on s.d.o to begin with) -- but at least I'd be able to point other Debian people here to our local mirror so that they could update themselves more quickly. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
