I just got a polite e-mail from my ISP that I am generating too much |
2 |
traffic. I hoped this moment would never come, but it seems that I have |
3 |
to fit in 105GB/week. I knew that generating too much traffic is in |
4 |
violation with their agreement, but they never told me how much "much" |
5 |
is. Still they are nice enough to ignore the matter if I get back in the |
6 |
normal limit. |

This is a warning that I am stopping to serve distfiles until I figure |
9 |
out an elegant way of handling the matter. If someone feels like |
10 |
pointing me in the right direction -- *please do*. I know how to count |
11 |
my outgoing traffic (using empty rules in iptables) but I am not sure |
12 |
what exactly to do with those numbers. I am currently thinking about |
13 |
slowing down uploads using tc, limiting maximum number of uploads, etc, |
14 |
but it is too much work to do now, and I have no idea how to do it |
15 |
properly. |

I will be away for almost two months (starting next week) so until then |
18 |
I am stopping serving distfiles on both http://gentoo.gg3.net/ and |
19 |
http://ftp.gg3.net/pub/linux/gentoo/. If you don't mind, I will keep |
20 |
syncing with the master mirror, and once I come back I will think of |
21 |
something. |

Apologies to all. |
