As for archive stats, my copy is some 11GB (but I have expanded a number of subtrees and added a few things). It changes very little if any at all usually, meaning that monthly traffic for syncing is negligible. BTW, I'm supposed to be hooked on a 2Gbps pipe, but since we mirror many huge biological databases (in the order of TB) and they may change by day significantly, and other sites use us as a hub to mirror their copy of said dbs in turn, out bandwidth may vary depending on day and time of day (if you hit us during the mirroring phase of the day it may be quite slow). We're also on the Grid running large jobs with large data moves... Oh well. Just give it a try. BTW, on our site you'll also find an 'os' directory with a large collection of additional UNIX/UNIX-like/other systems and sources (ftp://ftp.es.embnet.org/pub/misc/os/ or rsync://ftp.es.embnet.org/tuhs/ ). j On Thu, 27 Dec 2007 11:14:42 +0100 Wilko Bulte wrote: > Quoting Larry McVoy, who wrote on Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 07:39:22PM -0800 .. > > It's not me, it's all of you.
