Yesterday, a 1.1GB file was dropped into it which caused some of our mirrors to complain, especially when they discovered it was a game file.=20 In the last few months, our distfiles mirror has grown nearly 100% in terms of space requirements. Gentoo's increasing popularity also places greater demands on our mirrors in terms of bandwidth requirements as well. We need to do our share to be respectful of these limited resources and use them only when absolutely necessary. --kurt --YBGzgpgHAney5ErF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/HTUIJPpRNiftIEYRAr6UAJ9tuXcG7JJjEBtRp15mRZ45Kee7cACfVm7n vaR9cz26S9ZBFjcNLCHLu+o= =8nsR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --YBGzgpgHAney5ErF--
