It's back up now :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus You know, take Lisp. You know, it’s the most beautiful language in the world. At least up until Haskell came along. -- Larry Wall

Btw, I'm sorry I didn't inform the list in advance about taking the orbitalfox.com mirror down. I've moved the server and there are constraints on the data transfer now. I could still implement a mirror, but the hundreds of megabytes would severely affect my quota. -- SP

No worries! It was nice of you to have it up for a while. As everyone probably understands, mirrors are always welcome ;) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus C++ is history repeated as tragedy.

I'm a bit late to the party, but can you give an idea how much monthly bandwidth a mirror consumes? Thanks.
I didn't keep statistics from when I was hosting it on my previous machine; Magnus might have something from xsound. GHC is about a gigabyte by itself plus all the other packages. The mirror will have to download all the updated packages, plus upload to users updating from that mirror. I speculate it will be several gigabytes a month. -- SP

The complete repo is 1.6G at the moment (it goes up and down a little over time). I don't think the bandwidth usage is as high as several times the complete repo size. I may be wrong though, I have no statistics, only a gut feeling :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus If voting could really change things it would be illegal.
