SWITCH announced that they plan to close down mirror.switch.ch. See
announcement http://mirror.switch.ch/
I personally think this is very sad. In the name of the community I
would like to thank SWITCH for their support over all these years.
However I would like to start the discussion how we can keep
mirror.switch.ch alive as a community effort.
Can the decision makers at SWITCH please explain the preconditions?
Funding for new hardware? Throw in some bandwidth? Colocation? Server
management?
Are there any stats as to what bandwidth it needed?
I seem to remember that when they stopped mirroring the FreeBSD FTP
server it was because mirroring the server took more bandwidth than the
downloads of the mirrored content.
There's contact information here:
