Please avoid placing files in our distfile mirroring system that are not |
4 |
absolutely necessary. Yesterday, a 1.1GB file was dropped into it which |
5 |
caused some of our mirrors to complain, especially when they discovered it |
6 |
was a game file. |

In the last few months, our distfiles mirror has grown nearly 100% in terms |
9 |
of space requirements. Gentoo's increasing popularity also places greater |
10 |
demands on our mirrors in terms of bandwidth requirements as well. We need |
11 |
to do our share to be respectful of these limited resources and use them |
12 |
only when absolutely necessary. |
