I'd be happy to support mirroring once all this is sorted out/ I can offer a server in Germany/Europe.
If we decide that mirrors would be a good idea, it will be important, imo, to select mirror sites bases on their connectivity. The goal of the mirrors should be to try to give people options with short network distances.
Right, however, do you have any specific parameters that can be measured in mind?
I'm not enough of a network expert. Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will make a suggestion. BTW, with the current PyPI performance, I'm guessing we could have 10s of mirrors poll once a minute without affecting other users.
(Our server is reasonably well connected, reachable with about 5 hops from within Germany with latency around 40ms on a DSL line. Multiple GBit lines to the hosting center.)
I didn't mean to suggest that you weren't well connected. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
