RE: hello guys

Well, Shimi, darling, nobody fights your server! It's all about help! The linux-maniac signature is pretty cool, the average statistics also, but the 6 (six) OC12 (622.08 mbps) lines to our servers is cooler ;) Those lines have more capacity, than any Israeli ISP, so, putting there a mirror will provide a fine bandwidth to all Israeli IPS - which is not too bad. If the idea is about mirroring stuff for some other country, which is closer to the Ohio State, well, it is possible, but without such excitement. Since I'm patriotic also ;) All I'm saying, is "anybody wanna help?" -----Original Message----- From: shimi [mailto:shimi@shimi.net] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 7:27 AM To: ceo@host1.co.il Cc: mirrors@php.net Subject: Re: hello guys I was surprised to hear that a machine outside Israel is giving a better bandwidth than a machine inside Israel, connected one hop from the Israeli Internet eXchange (IIX), so I tried your download: $ wget http://www.host1.co.il/mirrors/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip --07:17:33-- http://www.host1.co.il/mirrors/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip => `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' 07:18:47 (95.56 KB/s) - `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' saved [7120037/7120037] And then the same file from my mirror: --07:21:30-- http://il.php.net/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip => `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' 07:22:07 (193.12 KB/s) - `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' saved [7120037/7120037] My DSL line capacity is ~195KB/s. Now I did this test when the international communications lines are pretty "clear", at 7:20am. I would guess that at 10pm, when the "international" internet is really busy, I'll get even lower download speed from your host. And some more: --- il.php.net ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 18.022/18.658/19.375/0.541 ms --- host1.co.il ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 186.595/187.394/188.102/0.753 ms ???

We may mirror few parts of the site (downloads only for example), or the whole site. We may handle the "September's 2004 traffic" easily, and we provide much faster downloads than fresh.co.il server. But, our servers are NOT located in Israel. We've got few in the JTL networks farm, and few in EV1. Here comes a speed test link: http://www.host1.co.il/mirrors/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip So, we may find ourselves in a good relationship. What is your opinion? -- Never forget that: 1.
