Maintenance window for mirrors.dotsrc.org
Sunday February 16th 2020
We are seeing so much traffic that it is necessary to upgrade the hardware hosting mirrors.dotsrc.org.

We'll be starting at 2020-02-18T08:00+01:00 (ISO8601), and we expect it to last up to three hours.

To convert that to your local time run: date -d 2020-02-18T08:00+01:00

If you want to get an email from us before the next scheduled maintenance, please let us know.

Update: Upgrade went well. The server hosting mirrors.dotsrc.org now has 768Gb RAM instead of 96Gb. All this additional RAM will be used as ZFS ARC cache.
rsync over TLS
Tuesday January 21st 2020
mirrors.dotsrc.org now support rsync over TLS.

This is how you use it: 
wget https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/openssl-rsync

chmod +x openssl-rsync

rsync --rsh=./openssl-rsync rsync://mirrors.dotsrc.org
IPv4 problems
Tuesday February 12th 2019
All dotsrc services were unavailable on IPv4 from around 2019-02-12 12:30 CET to around 16:00 CET. IPv6 traffic was unaffected.

The outage was caused by BGP hijacking of 130.225.224.0/19 announced from an Iranian ISP.
