Mirroring

Dotsrc.org is currently carrying a large number of mirrors. All mirrors are accessible via http and ftp, and rsync is also offered for a selection.

Please see the mirror pages for information on how to access and request new mirrors.

Usenet

In collaboration with Aalborg University dotsrc.org provides free access to a large number of non-binary newsgroups.

You are required to sign-up to access the news server.

IRC

We provide one of the two IRCNet servers in Denmark. The service is only available for users in Denmark (*.dk).

News

New Firewall
Saturday November 7th 2009
Per Mejdal has kindly sponsored us with a new firewall, which should now make it possible for us to fill our 1 Gbps pipe to the Internet. The old firewall is being used in a redundant setup with the new firewall.
We have also made some network changes this evening which, together with putting the new firewall into production, gave us some frequent outages throughout the evening.
Project hosting discontinued
Wednesday October 21st 2009
As of 2009-10-18 dotsrc.org has discontinued the hosting of projects. Since we started open source hosting more than 10 years ago, Sourceforge, Freshmeat, Launchpad and a bunch of others have emerged. Questions can be directed to staff@dotsrc.org

Please note that we will of course continue to run our open source mirror, usenet server, irc server, BitTorrent servers and so on. New services will emerge in the future.
Usenet server network changes
Saturday October 17th 2009
We have made some network changes for our Usenet server. This means that if you use "sunsite.dk" as server name in your config, you will have to change it news.dotsrc.org. If you use news.sunsite.dk your client will continue to work, but we encourage you to change it to news.dotsrc.org.
