This forum is a little dead, but I thought I’d like to share my mirror service, which I set up a few years ago (to no fanfare) because I was sick and tired of getting connection resets from the NUS mirror, and could not find any well-maintained mirrors in Singapore.

• Arch Linux: http rsync ftp
• Arch Linux ARM: http rsync ftp
• CentOS: http rsync ftp
• Deb Multimedia: http rsync ftp
• Debian: http rsync ftp
• Debian CD Images: http rsync ftp
• Fedora: http rsync ftp
• Fedora EPEL: http rsync ftp
• Linux Mint Packages: http rsync ftp
• Linux Mint CD Images: http rsync ftp
• Ubuntu Archive: http rsync ftp
• Ubuntu CD Images: http rsync ftp
• Ubuntu Releases: httprsync ftp

All distro mirrors are updated 4x daily (6-hourly) with distro-recommended scripts and/or rsync settings, with the exception of Arch Linux ARM, which is push-mirrored from the Arch Linux ARM team.

Please let me know if you have any requests. I am intending to mirror Linux Mint and FreeBSD pkges too, in the near future.

You are most welcome to rsync off my mirror, if your company wishes to keep an on-network mirror.

Thanks, finally some local mirrors that actually works.

I'd like to warn that my Ubuntu archive is still at initial sync. But everything else is good and up-to-date.

And yes. The NUS mirror is terrible. Apt get operations randomly fail with connection reset.

Here you go.

Linux Mint Packages: http rsync

Very nice! This ain't a dedicated mirror, right? As in the server's being used for other stuff? (or else that would you mean that you're paying for it).

[albertlee]

Lubuntu if possible.

 

[andr3wyong]

Lubuntu if possible.

I can’t find any info on where I can rsync this from. If you have that info, I’ll be happy to mirror it.

Come to think about it, there is no need to as Lubuntu basically uses the same source as Ubuntu. Amended my sources.list file to point to your mirror source and it work great. Thanks buddy.

 

[andr3wyong]

I’ve trimmed the Debian mirror architectures to reduce disk usage and consequently ZFS fragmentation on my mirror.

If you have specific requests to mirror architectures, I’ll be happy to include them again.

Mirrored architectures:
amd64
i386
armel
powerpc
armhf
mipsel
mips
source

I have also removed SPARC architecture from my Ubuntu archive/ports/cdimage mirror.

It's okay. I know the guys haha. Having dinner with the dude who is newly in charge of it

Anyway, once my SI 10G is installed, it will be one of the few 10G dual stack mirrors in APAC.

So did he say what's wrong and what he intends to do with it?

Or he told you not to count on him and to start your own mirror?

 

[chesterqw]

Thank you for doing this

We'll let the fastest mirror plugins decide. It's not a competition, just providing you guys a choice

Anyway I've seen an uptick in traffic after getting on official mirror round robins.

It's nice to give back to the community in some way. Haha.

So anyway I’ve had some discussion. Long story short - I think my mirror will continue being the best, most stable mirror in Singapore for quite some time to come. The guys with the dedication to bring the mirror up to speed don’t have access to the resources to do it, and vice versa.

By the way, I’m not sure if this is appropriate, but those who are interested in donating, do shoot me a PM. All proceeds will go up to my savings towards moving from 6TB to 8TB drives. The mirror is occupying 11TB out of my personal NAS.

Donations of tower/2U rackmount double-conversion UPS also welcome, with or without batteries (I can get SLA batteries from SLT myself).

Just waiting for NLT to resolve their capacity issue so I can get 10G SuperInternet up and have a static IPv6 to the mirror.

Also, see you at FOSSASIA this weekend if you are there!
