Instructions to Mirror:

Who can mirror?

Anyone can mirror, but it's a good idea to have:

What are the bad things?

The greatest risk is that the website will be posted to Slashdot, and the resulting traffic might swamp all of our connections, making them unusable for a time. However, by getting enough mirrors, we can minimise that risk.

A little of your traffic and harddisk space will be used.

If you stop running a mirror, and a bunch of people still try and use you as a mirror, they might annoy you with unwanted traffic or log entries.

How do I get the stuff to mirror?

Well, fire up your mirroring tool of choice, and tell it to download everything that is in http://nova.yi.org/gnutelladev/ and all subdirectories. Don't follow buttons.

Here is how to do that with wget on a Unix box: wget -q -T60 -nh -nH -L --no-parent -m http://nova.yi.org/gnutelladev/

How do I get listed as a mirror?

Send e-mail to TomG at tomg@nova.yi.org, tell him where you've put it, what IP address and what hostname, and which one of those you think is more reliable.
