Hi all, This is [1]Susmit here. Earlier my domain was only ambassador and free media, now joining infrastructure too. Still a student but configuring and testing things for a few years. Recently, I got access to hardware resources and bandwidth, so thought about joining infrastructure.
I have a question, I think this should be the appropriate list.
What is the minimum bandwidth required to set up a fedora public mirror? I am working at an university and seriously thinking of setting up a mirror.
I've been telling people that 100Mbit connection (not just from the server, but available from your bandwidth provider) is the minimum for new mirrors. There are a few long-established mirrors with slightly lower capabilities, but we've also added many with 1Gbit/sec or faster connections. You also need about 1TB of disk space to carry a full mirror.
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring for more details on the process.
Thanks, Matt Fedora Mirror Wrangler
