Re: Debian mirror in Canada

[Jean-Francois Chevrette <mirrors@iweb.ca>]

Hi,

I have contacted the kernel.org maintainers and the only answer I got  
was from a guy that told me like 3 times in one sentence that he  
wasn't sure if they were doing Push-Mirroring. I sent them another  
email two days ago and still no answer. Any other suggestion?

On the other hand, we are now synching all arch. from  
mirrors.kernel.org via the anonftpsync script.

Here are the informations as they are requested on the mirror request  
form:

Site/Hostname: debian.mirror.iweb.ca
Type: debian, debian-non-US, security
HTTP: yes
FTP: yes
RSYNC: yes (on request)
Mirroring from: mirrors.kernel.org
Maintainer: Jean-Francois Chevrette <mirrors@iweb.ca>
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Comments:
Updated every 4 hours from mirrors.kernel.org (debian, debian-non-US)  
and ftp.ca.debian.org (security)
Currently 100Mbps (can be upgraded to 1Gbps if necessary
Connected to various backbones: Teleglobe, Cogent, Videotron and  
Peer1. Will be song connected to TORIX (Toronto Internet Exchange)
