i seriously doubt this. having a apt mirror is a matter of syncing around 30-40gb of data, which changes often too. isps here sell 64kbps in the name of "broadband". u think they'll provide bandwidth to sync that huge volume for nothing?? what we can do is have apt-cache or apt-proxy sort of things. instead of syncing, it'd fetch the packages on demand and store it locally. after that, within npix bandwidth wont be a problem. ~jwalanta <div>On 4/12/08, Bikal KC <<a href="mailto:bikal@ubuntu.org.np">bikal@ubuntu.org.np</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Shishir Jha wrote: > It would be a better if we could go and talk to few people out there, before > formally proposing them.
