Topic: Request for Mirrors hosting SME Server and contribs

[guest22]

Hi all,

we do have several mirrors, but we lack the presence of a number of mirrors in certain area's. Hence we would like you to consider becoming a consistent and sustainable mirror site. Especially companies/universities with enough bandwidth and speed.

Area's (but not only those) where we would like to have more presence:

* North America (Canada, USA)
* South America (Brasil, Argentina)
* Europe (Spain, Italy, Germany, Nordics)
* Middle East (Turkey, UAE)
* Asia (India, Hong Kong, China, Japan)
* South East Asia (New Zealand, Australia)

And of course anyone who has the bandwidth and supports SME Server.

Please see http://wiki.contribs.org/Mirrors on how to become a mirror. It's free of charge If you need any help, you'll get it.

As a mirror, you will be listed as a supporter of SME Server, and many will see your corporation as you can see here http://wiki.contribs.org/Wiki_statistics

Thanks for your considerations.

Thanks to users mag974 and Jesper Holck, we now have 2 additional mirrors. One in Germany and one in Denmark.

Thanks guys!


We still call upon our supporters in the other regions (see post above) to kindly consider to become a mirror for SME Server. It would help us a lot to spread the load and improve the speed.


Thanks!

Hi,

It's seems that Yahoo Slurp robot use an important bandwidth (~12Go) on mab974 mirror.
Can we avoid that ?

You can use a .htaccess like

Code: [Select]

RewriterEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "^Yahoo! Slurp"
RewriteRule .* - [F]

(not tested, might need some tweaks, and can be used to block other U-A)

@daniel

You can use a .htaccess like

i'll test it !

can you imagine using a "robots.txt" file or is it far-fetched for a mirror ?
