Hi, today I have gotten access to the staging server of the kde4 mirror system which means we can release windows package onto the kde4 mirrors in the near future. Additional we have access to the sourceforge high bandwith mirror system for the same purpose. There is a really need to add additional mirrors because the servers we are currently using are partial overloaded. To give you some impressions: In Dezember 2007 there were files downloaded with a complete size of about 1 TB, for example kdebase-mingw-3.95-1-bin.zip was downloaded about 4000 times.

To be able to use the kde mirror system there are currently some open thinks: 1. Mostly kde mirrors use the ftp protocol which isn't supported by the installer yet - this has to be extended 2. sourceforge mirrors do not support sub directories, which requires to extend the installer a bit -> I'm working on this, it will be ready in the 0.8.5 release of the installer 2. kde mirror directory layout: The currently used mirrors contains several directories with kde unstable releases and directories for supplementary libraries and tools. There are only the latest version of the supplementary libraries available which may work for win32libs but probably will give problems for packages in the kdesupport category because of possible api changes. Given the fact that installer version 0.8.5 will support flat directory structures I'm planing to put all required files (including the installer config file) for a given release on the kde mirrors into one subdirectory eg: /pub/kde/unstable/3.97/windows -all files for 3.97 release /pub/kde/unstable/4.1/windows - all files for 4.1 release You can see an example of such structure in http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/mirror-example/ Any comments ?
