So, anybody with bandwidth to spare feel like hosting downloads.phathack.com?   Looks like ours disappeared....

Probably, how much do you think is needed?

also, how much storage?

[sbingner]

I dont have any data on how much gets downloaded but currently we have:

[root@recluce]# du -hs /mnt/lv0/www/phathack-downloads
265M      /mnt/lv0/www/phathack-downloads

I need to see if my hosting will work with an rsync but I have a bunch of montly transfer and about 700 megs left on my hosting site so I think we can host it there.  shoot me an IM this weekend Sam.

No problem.

its a little (not a lot, just a little) bit of an odd time as i will be decommissioning our current unix host shortly and replacing it with a new shiny faster one (which arrived at my office on tuesday, new toy, always nice) on a much better link in the comming weeks (month or two at most).

Can quite happily add it to the current one, while i'm figuring out how to use the new one and getting it setup etc, then move it with all the others in a few weeks.

That is, of course as long as you don't mind hosting in the UK (with us foreigners).

could do both even - just email me at sam@bingner.com with what you want to use as an rsync user/pass and what IP rsync would be initiated from.   If you both want to host, I can set up downloads.phathack.com to be a round-robin so it'll decrease the load.

I did track down and send an email to the guy currently hosting it - I still see rsync running so he may fix that

Why not host them (or at least mirror them) on the Phathack server as well?  I added a bunch of hard drive space and set up FTP accounts for you/Jud.  Might as well use some of it!

[sbingner]

sure, send me your client info for rsync :b
