mirror.cs is currently a 2.4Ghz intel xeon cpu with 1GB ram. It has approximately 1.9TB of space in total available for mirroring projects. At the moment, there is approximately 39GB free.

Current projects mirrored at mirror.cs. Feel free to substitute FTP anywhere you see HTTP in the URL.

Also on campus there are currently:

• cvsup mirror at freebsd.uwaterloo.ca
• IST's Redhat mirror
• The CS club does some things too

Ongoing: adding additional methods (such as samba /CIFS) and additional projects:

• OpenBSD
• Morphix
• Mandrake
• Open Solaris

• X.org
• kernel.org
• xfree
• OpenCD
• CTAN

Priority of additions is by perceived demand, so if you want a local mirror of other projects, please let us know.

See also: RT#40096 for ongoing notes.

Since the RT ticket is now closed, adding the issue here.

• Downloading updates over HTTP seems to be broken. FTP downloads are fine. I see extraneous characters in the HTTP response headers. Take note of the characters following the header Content-Encoding: armored.
