Hi, Peter! On Nov 12, Peter Laursen wrote:
Right now I get around 50 kbps on archive.mariadb.org. This means that a complete server package (with tests etc.) could take ~10 hours to download. Or even 4 days with the 6 kbps that Guillaume experiences (all roughly calculated numbers).
I understand the probems with hosting/storage (incl. costs) and mirrors refusing to host TB's of archived/historical data. But I don't understand what it has to do with bandwidth (I assume that the reduced bandwidth is not because of a lot of simultaneous downloads happening).
I don't really know, I've only looked at the apache configuration for archive.mariadb.org. But I would guess it's to prevent archive downloads affecting other usages of this box, it's also the buildbot master and build slaves are constantly up- and downloading packages. I could agree that the current limitation is too low to be useful. Perhaps archive.mariadb.org can be moved elsewhere and then the bandwidth limit can be increased? Daniel, what do you think?
