What about ftp[2,3,4,5] DNS names? Having the same quality restrictions as
ftp.XX.debian.org servers:
- 24/7
- updated often
Below is a list of other mirrors:
ftp://130.161.157.155/ Univ. of Delft
ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/ Dutch Unix Users Group (NLUUG)
ftp://ftp.student.utwente.nl/ Univ. Twente
ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/ ISP XS4All
Maybe, information should be added about the speed of the FTP sites?
I can imagine bots running on machine throughout NL (and EN, TU, BE, etc)
probing mirrors in their country and reporting back the a bot running the
FTP mirror webpage...
The affected webpage would be:
http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors
Added to this page would be information about the bandwith, response time,
days without update... Primary sites, this would (ofcourse) all be excellent,
but i can imagine a XS4ALL mirror, or WISH mirror being faster in reponse than
the current primary server in NL, due though the strange routing...
I need not tell you that with APT this information is becoming more important
every day...
