jpalmer: this is a work in progress, but looks good enough for now: http://mirrors.arpnetworks.com/CentOS/ syncs ever 4 hours. no IPv6 yet. if someone can show me an rsync command that'll get a FreeBSD mirror, *that actually works* (everything on their site either says unknown module or connection refused), i'm all ears... :) up_the_irons: fucking centos mirrors. just caught something at work the other day, a few modified rpms with the same timestamps/file size. files were the same, just tweaked metadata but it fucked up the hashes. now I force-checksum everything :/ up_the_irons: nice! up_the_irons: rsync -vaz --delete ftp2.FreeBSD.org::FreeBSD/ FreeBSD yay yay! ? always! you edit the .conf manually? . /channel add -auto #arpnetworks freenode . /save jpalmer: yea.. i added it with vi .. then did a /save over it apparently :) qbit: just save your config in scm and diff from previous versions if it doesn't work as you expect ;-) yeah.. but if i cna't remember to add the changes before i overwrite them.. i am probably not going to remember to add the changes to scm :P or you could just do it as I described above. let irssi manage it's own config :P yep lol jpalmer: ah, ftp2! ty! when in doubt add a 2 lol ftp2 is a slow mirror (like 20 Mbps is all i'm getting), but at least it works up_the_irons: ftp11 seems to work also jpalmer: yeah, i found a couple others too up_the_irons: the good news: if you become an official mirror as you hinted at, they'll let you pull from ftp-master.
