Hi,

We do care -- but we don't always work on the weekends unless there's an 
emergency.  In Europe you get Monday morning's daylight at least 5 hours 
before I do.

To answer some questions:

1. You will occasionally get permissions errors on your RSYNC.  We have 
almost 1000 committers that can put files in the download area.  We set 
the umasks to allow for world-readable by default, but with 1000 
committers, something is bound to happen.  If you can ignore the 
permissions errors, I'd suggest you do so.

-> We have over 1.7 million files in our download area -- not all of 
them are mirrored to you.  With this amount of files it is difficult for 
us to automatically fix permissions.  We used to do it, but now it's 
just tedious and it doesn't guarantee you'll never see errors.


2. As for disk space, we are approaching our June release train, where 
30+ projects are putting out a new major release all at the same time.  
Many stable/release candidate builds are cropping up in the downloads 
area, and many will be deleted/moved once the release is over.

-> If you are exceeding disk space limits, please exclude one or more 
top-level directories, such as /tools, /technology, /eclipse, and so 
on.  Our crawler looks for your top-level directories, so removing at 
the top-level will de-list your mirror for that top-level automatically.

-> I will bring the issue up with our project teams once again, in hopes 
that some clean-up can occur.


I will understand if the above constraints prevent you from maintaining 
an Eclipse mirror, but I do thank you all for your continued efforts and 
support towards the Eclipse community.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me directly at 
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx to keep list noise low.

Denis
