Subject: Re: Rubyforge really slow?

Well, folks downloaded the RubyInstaller 187 times over the last two days
(its not grown to 11MB)...definately our big fish.  When tom returns from
vacation, I will try and find out what we can do re: mirroring certain
downloads.  The network link is fine, but we are just getting lots of
traffic...fact of life when we have limited resources.  The issue with
mirroring is that gforge, the project management system that rubyforge is
based on, tracks downloads to files.  The mirroring would thus have to be
built into gforge itself (or accessed through gforge's link to a file) so
that tracking can still occur.  That's a development task...so lets see what
we can do next week.

Until then, please continue to report these issues, we really appreciate the
feedback that we get.  We want to serve the community the best we can.

Best,

Rich
Team RubyForge
