Dear All,
So that you know about the things going on behind the screen, here is an
update on our mirrors:
- - Over 300 mirrors were checked.
- - 98 were out of date.
- - 1 was showing commercial content instead of TLDP and was removed
immediately from our list.
- - The maintainers of outdated mirrors were contacted, 1/3 responded in a
timely manner and got their mirror in sync again, sometimes with our
help.
- - About 1/3 of the messages bounced, maintainers could not be traced even
after extended efforts -> their mirrors were removed from the list.
- - 1/3 of the maintainers did not respond in a timely manner -> those
mirrors were also removed from our list.
- - We have now 215 official, synchronized mirrors in 50 countries.
- - There are no more mirrors in Argentinia and Japan, where we used to have
mirrors before this checkup round.
- - Almost all mirrors synchronize daily or twice per day; a very small
minority synchronizes every other day; one mirror synchronizes weekly.
- - The next checkup is planned for the fall of 2005.
Tille.
