Speaking of bandwidth... in the podcast Shuttleworth said that the London mirror has capacity for 14GiB/s throughput, so almost 2GB/s ... that sounds like a hugely impressive amount of bandwidth to me, and even more impressive that it's offered 'free' to end users like me. It presumably also explains why updating ubuntu with patches each week is so painless - they download really quickly (temporarily maxing out my 8mbps ADSL line every time) and obviously apt installs fast too. Just out of interest what do people with more networking knowledge think to 14GiB - will that have a lot of spare as the ubuntu user base grows? - -- Stephen O'Neill w: http://www.thefloatingfrog.co.uk/ e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIEH79J+Auntu1v4QRAoYzAKCRXQ0zOljWfYB2WItsjwISkdcrggCfY+v0 a8ugmAzqjkSgA1I8vnJtUEs= =7cjA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
