RE: Mirror creation approval request
Hello Marian. Thank you for your offer.
It appears this would be on a shared-hosting system at HostMonster. While I understand
they advertise quite a lot of unlimited services, various online reviews indicate there
are in fact "reasonable" limits (e.g. 50k files), 3GB worth of files, and the
server loads (due to shared use) are quite high.
Rather than run a public mirror, which I fear would easily overwhelm such a shared hosting
account, I would encourage you to act as a bittorrent seeder for content you're
interested in serving, from http://torrents.fedoraproject.org/.
Thanks,
Matt

Good day!
My name is Marian Boricean, I live in Romania, but I work in the United States most of the
time.
I would like to create one (and possibly another one in the future) fedora public
distribution mirror.
This will be under http://mirrors.linux.dantux.com/fedora/
The IP address of the root site is 74.220.207.134
Monthly bandwidth transfer to this account can be 3,072,000 MB, but I'm currently
using under 500 MB.
Please let me know what conditions I must fulfill to make this happen.
Thank you!
Regards,
Marian Boricean
