Justin Dugger from OSUOSL confirmed they could handle the whole 80 TB/month download traffic NetBeans has.
Do note that OSUOSL is already part of the Apache mirror system ( http://apache.osuosl.org/ ) which NetBeans will use for releases. So, we may still use OSUOSL for any non-release downloads (eg. nightly builds, etc). --emi On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 12:51 AM, Emilian Bold <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, problem solved then! > > > --emi > > On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 12:26 AM, Daniel Gruno <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> On 06/03/2017 11:23 PM, Emilian Bold wrote: >> > So our bandwidth requirements are not a problem?
