Just message me if you need something. It would be great to have a 95th percentile of that red line, actually. One of the things I am wondering is if it is worthwhile to keep a private mirror running for clusters that have lots of machines and want to spare the bandwidth costs yet do not want to offer the public hosting commitment... >> Bandwidth for users >> =================== >> >> I assume this is the hardest part to figure out, as this will vary >> wildly according to the region you're in and the relative popularity of >> your mirror. >> >> The official mirror page[3] states that you need a "T1 or better" (for >> the record and those who weren't around in those days, a T1 is >> 1.5Mbit/s).

I would consider 50mbps a respectable usage. :) I'm curious to see what kind of pain ftp.de is suffering... ;) Thank you so much for this again (and everyone else that answered!), it's great to see those graphs.
