Re: Random mirrors and download quota

Seems good to me, only this part: > and it will be checked if the mirror is randomly selected and > if it is above 1200, will randomly select another server It's better to select those under 1200 right from the start. If you have 10 servers, you might make 9 checks before selecting the last one. -- Julio Nobrega Pode acessar: http://www.inerciasensorial.com.br "Andrew Conner" <spam@microwinder.com> escreveu na mensagem news:20020810193011.9435.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Hello, > I have a script (at bottom) that, upon loading, will randomly select a > mirror or primary server (on average, the primary servers will be selected > twice as much).
