Hi,
I am the developer of libferris on sf.net. It has
come to my attention that due to the power offered by
libferris it is hard to build and install. I have thus
created or acquired all rpm files required for
libferris to be installed on a stock Redhat 7.3
machine. These files total about 75Mb including src.rpm
files. The final build is almost complete and I am
wishing to make sure that sf are OK with me using the
libferris project download section for such files. I
plan on marketing the build agressively so there may be
(hopefully) large download peaks.

I would like to be able to link to the files directly
from an index page that I have generated (which is part
of the distro too) I can change my XSL to have a
different href for the web but with the mirroring
system this will only link to the html mirror selection
page. Is there a way to select a default mirror for
this?

Thanks for your time.

You can use 75 megs of space in the file release area of the site. Feel free to market agressively. The default mirror is chosen by the user. It's not possible to pick one with a URL. We are working on reducing the number of clicks needed to download a file...but it will still be at least one or two before the download starts. (We have to have the clicks to give the bandwidth partners 'branding' to give their companies recognition. If we didn't have bandwidth partners...then we wouldn't be able to support the large quanity of downloads projects, like yours, can send to SF.NET) Pat-
