php.net mirror

Hi,
I read the mirror page : http://www.php.net/mirroring.php and setup an
inofficial mirror for php.net under the openrubas project.

If you want, you could use this mirror also as official mirror.


The server is located in germany and is dedicated to host web site
mirrors for different projects.

http://php.openrubas.org
-> Dual P3 with 1GHZ
-> 2 GB RAM
-> U160 SCSI Drive
-> 100Mbit/s

Yes, you have 2 mirrors for germany - I saw it.

But you have only one mirror for switzerland.

The situation in switzerland is very simple.
All internet service providers in switzerland has better connection to
germany/frankfurt then to hosting locations in switzerland.
This is a reason why most of the webhosting companies in switzerland has
their server in germany.

In fact I have with my private internet connection a better ping
responses from my mirror than from ch2.php.net or ch.php.net.=20

So I would propose to use this mirror as second official mirror from
switzerland and I will setup a cronjob to update the mirror once or
twice a day (like you want).

Please give me a feedback and have a nice day :)

As you just admitted in this last sentence, you see that there are
already two active mirrors in Switzerland. The fact that ch.php.net is
not listed currently is because they have an old PHP version (Debian
Woody probably), and this is not enough anymore for PHP mirror sites.

The fact that we have at least two mirrors in both Germany and
Switzerland, means that we are not accepting more. Thanks for your offer
anyway.
