Thread: Problem with pgfoundry ...
Just checked the news, and the new beta of pginstaller was released today ... I've just raised MaxClients to 150 from 75, so hopefully that will prevent a recurrance ... ---- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664

Do we need to start thinking of an alternative scheme for getting this out to
people? I'd imagine the loads we see now will pale in comparason to the loads
we see once the final release goes out.

Maybe speaking to a few of the mirrors and trial/try having a: /pgfoundry/<project>/<filename> area added to the mirror system, then have pgFoundry direct people to that. It'd probably be a lot of extra disk space needed on the mirrors, thus my thought of someone speaking to a few of them first to see if they'd be interested. ? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

It's all already there: ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/projects/gborg/ ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/projects/pgFoundry/ And a symlink for the newbies: ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/win32 -> ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/projects/pgFoundry/pginstaller/ Regards, Dave

Well, we have it on ftp, pgfoundry and bittorrent ... ftp means that all the mirrors have it also ... are these all mentioned in the announcements? does pgfoundry allow for an FTP url for download? ---- Marc G.

Yup: "Once the mirrors sync up, this release will also be available from all the postgresql mirrors in the subdirectory projects/pgFoundry/pginstaller/." It's not mentioned on the download page, that's probably why not everybody uses it. That said, we've only racked up 471 downloads through pgfoundry so far, I bet a lot of people have grabbed it from the ftp anyway. //Magnus

Could be - we should put together an RFE for it or something... Yours, Tom

Yup, that's the tricky bit - poking around that file download code to mirror/redirect it. Not impossible... but not a built-in thing, either... I've fiddled with that code a little bit before to provide a license click-thru thingy on another site: http://cougaar.org/frs/?group_id=17 Yours, Tom
