Eric,
Missed that.
It's your site so I'm sure you aren't wrong. Smile

Still would be interested to find out how I can see where mirrors point to in general.
Cheers
Dave

you might want to look into htaccess to password lock directories. most are using user:puppy password: linux

Hi aarf,

Yup..I us those for logins...what we are doing is another method.

As of today the logs show a big drop in bandwidth (the new setup will take time to watch and to see the actual changes/logs/bans etc).

If we can maintain around 50-70gb/day that will be sufficient I would think.

Eric

Hi Eric, just trying to download a 40mb kernel from CA and its downloading at 20kbs, and I tried to use axel at 4 connections and It limited me to just one, so its a 33min download for 40MB. Is that also the new max speed? Are there any other mirrors with the source files? www.puppylinux.asia/ doesn't have the sources files, maybe that could be a mirror. Well thanks again and I don't mean to be a pain.

Just to clear this up , by "all of our stuff " I meant "our" as in all the puppies users and pup builders . Not just Macpup. We (Macpup) also have pups at softpedia and opera has been mirrored by lots of other sites and Torrent downloaders.

I just wanted to say thanks !!! thats all...

check this
https://code.launchpad.net/~aarf/+junk/unique

it says it will mirror
http://puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles

if/ when it does perhaps macpup and hacao and teenpup can add an extra mirror link for their downloads

@runtt,Prit,
Ok..I get it now.

@aarf...don't think so unless they have been naughty.

@ttuuxxx...I only get one connection here as well..dunno but it's set to 5

@Thom,
I think the vast majority use 1 connection but there were some that tried 20-30 and more (also some with thousands)...that's why it's changing as there is a limit on total connections as you are prolly aware as every server has limits.

I need to read back and catch up....Eric

Hi Thom,

Yup that's what we are doing. Finding a balance is our plan.... so users can get files without the hogs and allow a good experience for all.

I have seen that "503 server is busy" was showing up far to often..thus the changes.

Maybe I can pick your brain as I'm aware you do this as well..Eric

yep another day and downloading another kernel and 30mins for 40MB @ 20kb/s, I'm limited to 1 connection only on the server which is strange, and I'm amazed at the number of connections Eric mentioned that some users were using, that's just wrong. up to 5 is a good number. Or even up to 3 would be really good right about now Smile
