[eclipse-mirrors] New mirror: ftp.acc.umu.se
|
Greetings,
on request from Swedish users we, The Academic Computer Club of Umeå
University, or ACC for short, have started mirroring the entire
eclipse.org project.
I know the "Mirror site request" page claims that you have enough
mirrors in Europe, but to quote the last user asking for us to mirror
eclipse:
"There is no mirror in .se, and all the avaliable mirrors are horribly
slow".
In Sweden most power users are sitting on 100Mbit or better
connections, and expect download speeds to be of that magnitude.
Our file archive mirror have a couple of gigabits to spare [1] [2],
and we are happy to provide mirroring for the eclipse project [3].
We have good connectivity through the Swedish university network
SUNET, part of the nordic research network NorduNet. This means we
have good peering within Sweden, the other nordic countries, and also
to the rest of Europe and the US [4].
I have filled in the mirror request form, and our site is now synced
up (currently syncing to osuosl.org twice a day).
The preferred access protocol is http, but we provide ftp and rsync
access as well. Let me know if you want us to configure a dedicated
eclipse rsync instance.
Btw, the download redirect thingie on eclipse.org currently seems
broken. For the couple of files I tried to download, it always says
"There are no mirrors for this file".
For example
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/SR1/eclipse-jee-juno-SR1-win32.zip
which should probably be one of the more common downloads...
