The initial rsync is done. I'm pulling from
debian.csail.mit.edu currently twice a day. I'll set up to be a

the campus firewall. The URL is:

That is per year. We have several pieces of fiber from
our campus to Verizon (local phone provider). OC circuits use a
different frame type separate from ethernet (see SONET/SDH
information at Wikipedia if you want more information). We have
a lot more than just data running across the fiber to the telco.

I'm not sure if you were aware of debian.csail.mit.edu
previously, but it should have been faster than the European
mirrors for you. Anyway, try it or mine and see if things are
better.
