I've even got a dedicated cache appliance for http, but files that had |
2 |
been requested through ftp aren't cached there. I think probably the |
3 |
first stopgap that i'd apply would be to comment out the line that |
4 |
parses the "nomirror" option. If its used to keep files from being |
5 |
pushed onto the rotation servers, great... but its an annoyance within |
6 |
my network. Then i'd see about making my own server the first in the |
7 |
list of sourceforge mirrors, followed by a mirror that i know works |
8 |
better for me. Perhaps the mirrorselect tool could automatically check |
9 |
for good sf.net servers too. For that matter, I'd quite like to see a |
10 |
fill-in-the-blank line plus the ability to choose the order from within |
11 |
mirrorselect... perhaps even a order of preference that round-robins |
12 |
equally weighted servers. |
