In this recent case, two different spiders were crawling the wiki very quickly, the machine's load average was in the 70s, and the out-of-memory killer was killing off PostgreSQL processes. I don't think the load caused from people running easy_install is especially high -- it's certainly not a source of problems -- but making static pages would still be good to make mirroring the package archive more useful. Right now people could mirror http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/, but there's nothing there for easy_install or for human readers; it's just a tree of package directories. --amk _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
