karibu Hi there ! As I'm seeing no mirror in Asia for the moment, I take the opportunity to create a new mirror, in Vietnam. http://mirror.freedif.org/KaOS/ Let me know if any issue.
demm karibu Thank you for this, really appreciated. Would you like to be added to the Sponsors page? If yes, how (image/text/link)? https://kaosx.us/about/sponsors/ Mirror will be added to the pacman-mirrolist package right away.
karibu Hi Demm, For the sponsor, a simple link to freedif.org will be appreciated. (OpenSource apps How to) Thank you
karibu Hi there, You can now found the Vietnamese mirror statistics here: http://mirror.freedif.org/Stats/KaOS.html (But so far, 0 traffic...)
karibu Hi there, I'm surprised by the small bandwidth used by KaOS. Not many users in VN/around probably. All good from the infra point of view right?
demm All works correct, but it seems virtually no-one changes from the default mirror as shipped on new installs (mirror in Frankfurt, Germany). That default mirror is getting overloaded, approaching dozens of terabytes of traffic a month, while none of the other mirrors see much traffic at all.
karibu Hi demm, I see. May be a solution like mirrorbrain needs to be implemented, or a command to sort all the mirrors by speed (Like what Sabayon does), etc... Happy to see there is no issue from my side at least.
demm Pacman has a tool for that, rankmirrors. But that requires a change in the Installer and users being connected to the internet during the install.
