-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can see both sides (direct vs. geobalancer). It's rare that a geo needs to be pulled due to hardware failure, update issues, etc... but if it does and you are pointing to the geo ip then it happens automatically. I guess the question I have is; does that ip get configured in scripts anywhere once the fastest mirror script is run, or does it just save the name that's closest? If it configures the update system to use the ip then we should have all our geos listed; even though that means if we need to pull a geo one of the links won't work. If it only saves the name of mirror.rackspace.com then it should be just the geobalancer as then no one using that mirror will actually have an outage; on the rare occasion that we need to pull a geo their updates may take longer. Ultimately I think you, Florian, probably are better equipped to make that decision as I am not familiar with the particulars of the update and fastest mirror system in arch. If you decide it's best to use the direct geo links they are {dfw|iad|ord|lon|hkg|syd}.mirror.rackspace.com/pub/archlinux/ Please do let me know if you have further questions and thank you very much for what you do, Judd On 01/02/2015 04:11 AM, Florian Pritz wrote:

Currently you have three links to mirror.rackspace.com on the archlinux.org/download page.

Actually we have 6 and 3 happen to be in the US. The others being in HK, UK, AU. When you requested to be added to the mirror list you provided all those direct addresses to us [1] and I believe this to be a good thing since it allows us to track each mirror's update delay and request time [2] and users can choose the one that actually works best for them (there is a script users can run to rank mirrors based on ping/dlspeed).

If you still want us to only display the geobalancer I'll do it.
