If you have more than a few clients it might be a good idea to have your own private mirror. Then, if your upstream mirror has a temporary problem your private one will be a little bit out of date, but your clients won't notice. And your clients will get a faster response, too. Regarding load on mirrors: How many clients do you need to put a similar load on a mirror like a mirror sync? Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
