Re: Argentina Mirror

Well, I felt like I needed to write First of all, you have colocation services in datamarkets. This ISP has no connection to the NAP (Argentinian National Access Point), so you better consider another ISP which could give you more conectivity. To who may be interested, today's argentinian internet has divided its connectivity in 2 main networks, G4 and CABASE (nap). We have a bandwith shaper which allows users to only download at 512 kbps from the same source, so you won't be able to do a test in any way about our bandwidth available, never. And in the other hand, since we have this kinf of control, we can make sure php mirror availability for most users. Better yet, every ISP should do this limitations/controls, otherwise while you were testing xmundo you did make their php mirror downloads unavailable for other users. That's if you really were able to download at 2 Mbps and if XMundo has only 2 Mbps of available bandwidth. Apart from that, we do have 3 physical connections from 3 different providers, and 2 physical connections assigned to the php mirror, and both directions routing (g4 and cabase), you only have one. You can test this at: http://cabase.comsat.net.ar/ and in case you didn't know that, try a better serious ISP. test your IP: g2khosting.com [200.32.8.14] test our IP: php.bairesweb.com [201.216.206.217] (1) test our IP: php.bairesweb.com [200.59.45.3] (2) (round robin dns) http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=ar.php.net&type=A So now, if you can bit our network infrastructure (which could be difficult with a datamarkets/prima colocated service), and since we do this mirror only to help argentinian mirrors get the most fast access to php data (which I think is the idea), I will be yielding our position in the mirrors php site. And to take advantage of this opportunity, I would like to thanks to the php comunity for this *big thing* made (php) which let us improve our services and expand them. Apologizes for my poor english and a happy new year for all of you! Pablo L.
