A WebMaster’s view of Eclipse.org

Rants, praise and observations related to the technical and psychological challenges of running servers for a pretty busy site.

Europa in full swing

The Europa release went off this morning without any technical problems, other than it took longer than expected to copy files to our own servers. The actual “we’re ready” was declared at around 9:45am ET.

Our servers kept up the pace: I saw a maximum throughput of 249 megabits/second, sustaining over 1,500 clients. Within a few hours we had registered thousands of downloads of the SDK and the various Eclipse packages.

Things are getting a bit quiet as the weekend rolls in for North America, but next week will be our busiest.

    Just thinking that the July 4th week might either slow or enhance the downloads slightly
