Dear OpenBSD team,
we offer a new mirror for your project, hosted at RWTH Aachen University
in Germany:
http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/
rsync://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/openbsd/
Of course, we also offer OpenBSD at these addresses, as requested:
http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/pub/OpenBSD/
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/pub/OpenBSD/
The mirror is offering everything we could find and we consider to also
provide access to your "distfiles" in the near future.
We currently offer 2 GBit/sec and will this extend to 10 GBit/sec soon.
I still do not have all the data the project offers and do not know
where to sync from. Sadly, the mirrors on
http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html#rsync do not offer the same data set
(and all of them are quite slow). Could you give me access to a
- complete
- fast
- primary?
mirror? If you have ACLs, please add 137.226.34.42.
You only need to mirror two releases and snapshots (as stated on ftp.html)
to become an official mirror.. having all releases is a bonus, and very
few mirrors have them (iirc, only ftp.su.se).
Not at all. Snapshots is a bonus also[1]:
"The current policy requires mirrors listed on this page to provide at
least the last two releases in binary form (currently 4.6 and 4.7), as
well as the OpenSSH/, OpenNTPD/, OpenBGPD/, patches/ and tools/
directories. Note that in the above, "release" means all files under the
specific directory (e.g. 4.7/). This includes all architecture
subdirectories and the complete packages subdirectory, with packages for
all application architectures.
Depending on the disk space available, mirrors may provide more
contents, such as snapshots, older releases, current source tree, etc."
Moreover, www@ is the correct place to discuss that.
[1] I support also the snapshots in my official mirror
(ftp://mirror.cdmon.com/pub/OpenBSD/) and I assure to you that snapshots
means a lot of traffic every fay. Not all people can (or want) to deal
with it.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass
over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner
eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only
I will remain.
