Several people replied to me privately about my previous post on bitsavers,
and apparently got the impression that bandwidth was tight on the server. It
is not a case of bandwidth being tight at all, far from it. It's a matter of
fairness, the bandwidth is to be distributed among all the mirrors. If
you're not prepared to take some real bandwidth, you probably shouldn't be
mirroring it.
We've got truckloads of available bandwidth. In the past I had throttled
bitsavers down because I couldn't find a good fair way to share bandwidth
amongst the mirrors. Now that I have such a way, bandwidth restrictions have
been completely lifted. Enjoy :)
