Soon we will have a new fileserver. To do all our storage needs. But we will still have the net app, and NetApp might be donating to us another (second hand) one. What could we do with storage that wan't be as fast as the new file server, nor as reliable? We could host a mirror

Things we could mirror

CTAN

Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. There is only one CTAN mirror in austalia, ctan.unsw.edu.au (NSW), and that isn't super reliable.

SourceForge

Source forge

Debian

Steam

Advantages of us Hosting a mirror site

  • Increase how well known we are
  • Decease our own download times.
  • Be good people
