Serving the archive mirror at `/pub/proteanos` over HTTP and FTP is recommended, but any path and either protocol may be used. +Mirrors are classified by their synchronization source as either "primary" or +"secondary" as described below. This design distributes synchronization +bandwidth usage more efficiently across the mirror network. Secondary mirrors +will typically update a few hours after primary mirrors do, but are otherwise +still "first-class citizens". All mirrors regardless of classification are +treated equally by [[prokit]], the installer utility that selects a mirror. + +Please configure private mirrors as secondary mirrors, so as to reserve +ProteanOS project bandwidth for those that contribute bandwidth back to the +project. + [arch-conf]: http://files.proteanos.com/pub/proteanos/conf Primary Public Mirror |
