What would you do with a 100mbit/s or 1Gbit/s connection?

[albonycal]

I am able to utilize around 31M from my server at FRA downloading the same file.
And yes they are official mirrors.

 

[albonycal]

I think when you were downloading, the bandwidth utilization was high (other people downloading too)
that's why you couldn't use more than 200M. Also the bottleneck is more likely to be the HDD in these cases, the hand simply can't fetch the files fast enough. I am in the process of moving some mirrors to solid state storage.

Yes, I see 30M now. I believe you are on 1Gb right ?
I am downloading from SNG.

yes 1G (airtel static IP)
the underlying host is underpowered, I am waiting for Intel to replace my dead Intel NUC which will improve performance significantly.
HTTPs is disabled currently because the host doesn't have AES-NI instructions

 

[albonycal]

Roughly 13TB usage per month.
Peak bandwidth utilization around 700M

@albonycal 13 TB?!! Bhai you mirroring a download server or what?!

On an aside if you guys want NUCs or similar get em before 1st Nov when restrictions kick in.

 

[albonycal]

@Chip Mirror for linux distributions.
Max per month usage I have seen is 21TB

 

[albonycal]

@Lolita_Magnum Test using mirror-nag.albony.xyz
mirror.albony.xyz is using CF proxy (mostly) I have redirect rules to redirect to mirror-nag for the ASNs that route to COLOs outside India (like AS9498) .

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

No improvement.

@albonycal I also "host" a few mirrors on my NUC at home (it's got a 2 TB SSD) but it's for myself wonly

openSUSE Tumbleweed, ubuntu jammy repos, kde neon (user, unstable and experimental) and elementary OS ppas.

I do this coz I have a few computers and a couple of those have multiple OSes installed, so repeated package updates used to be annoyingly slow driving me insane hence the local mirrors.

Now every time I do an update I get that "instant gratification" kick due to 1 gbps transfers over LAN giving me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Some other areas (like Windows updates and updates from flathub) are fast anyways on my 1gbit Tata Play plan so those are not too bad.

I still want to try and figure out if I can mirror a flatpak remote (elementary OS appcenter flatpak remote is dog slow compared to official flathub.org) for the same reasons...
