“Where are the local mirrors?”
“Where are the local mirrors?” asks Indranil Das Gupta—a FOSS.in contributor and a mirror host. His post has interesting statistics from mirror.wbut.ac.in:
The last stat, imho, tells the most interesting story. That 94.3% or 352.46 GB out of 373.68 GB [is] comprised of ISOs.
In fact, instead of “Official Country Mirrors”, IMHO, we need several “local” (read regional / state-wise) mirrors in India.. So, let 100 mirrors bloom!
I couldn’t agree more. Organizations, government and educational institutions with unlimited bandwidth can make this happen. Without local mirrors, FOSS as an ideology and its actual usage is hard to imagine; and that would be a shame since India is such a pro open-source country.
