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.

Mirror site appreciation day - June 17, 2008

Tomorrow is our annual Mirror Appreciation Day. To test our Ganymede infrastructure (servers, bandwidth, routing, etc) we simply disable our list of mirrors, so anything you download comes directly from Eclipse.org. Don’t be surprised if the usual mirror list looks a bit short.

For last years’ event we saturated our entire 300Mb pipe within an hour, but it was still sufficient to keep the site running smoothly. Europa launched without a hiccup.

I do reserve the right to chicken-out of this insanity at any time during the day if I feel we can’t handle it.

Happy downloading!
