[eclipse-mirrors] ftp.acc.umu.se not getting any traffic?


Hi!

Our mirror, ftp.acc.umu.se, don't seem to get any traffic.

I know we've had this issue previously, but now it seems to be even worse than before.

The main issue is likely that the mirror status checking thingie used by eclipse.org doesn't accept the redirects provided by ftp.acc.umu.se as valid replies. It's hard to know however, as I haven't found any page listing the actual mirror status as seen by the eclipse.org system.

The thing is, ftp.acc.umu.se is comprised by a few frontends that only serve small files and redirects large files to a larger number of offload hosts. See https://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/ for more details if you are interested.

Anyhow, for our mirror these redirects are completely normal and NOT an error!

Download redirectors such as Mirrorbits and MirrorBrain can be configured to be aware of this, and we sincerely hope that the download redirector system used by eclipse.org can be convinced to do so as well.


On behalf of the ftp.acc.umu.se admins,

/Nikke
