[ILUG] whitebox mirror

[Dave Burke]

As far as I can see, we're completly up to date with the main mirror...


------------------------
daveb at dopey:~/rsync$ sudo rsync --timeout 600 -rvlHtS --progress --delete  
mirror.physics.ncsu.edu::whitebox /ftp/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/
==============================================================================

Welcome to the NCSU Physics Department install server for the NCSU
Realm Kit for Red Hat Linux, Red Hat Linux, and Aurora Sparc Linux.

Problems with the NCSU Realm Kit for Red Hat Linux can be reported to
bugzilla at http://bugs.linux.ncsu.edu.

This server is run by the NCSU Physics Department. For a full list of
rsync'able software please run 'rsync ks.physics.ncsu.edu::'.

If you have any problems, email <pco at pams.ncsu.edu> with details.

==============================================================================

receiving file list ...
10628 files to consider
 10600 files...
wrote 94 bytes  read 440793 bytes  125967.71 bytes/sec
total size is 29243161160  speedup is 66328.02

---------------------------------------

As for syncing straight from them, do remember that they don't have a huge 
amount of bandwidth, or at least they didn't a while back, which is why they 
were asking people not to submit them to /.

If you can show me what's wrong, i'll gladly fix it ...
