Dead, down, broken, missing, empty Gutenberg mirrors
I just took a few minutes to check the mirror list (mostly because the ibiblio rsync mirror is now so slow, a 9600 modem would be faster at sending bits across). Here's what I found: d == domain down/dead a == access required r == connection refused e == empty collection w == wrong path (for ftp mirrors) 4 == 404 (for http mirrors) l == limit reached [d] ftp://ftpbook.dhs.org/mirrors/gutenberg/ [a] ftp://elib.phil.pku.edu.cn/pub/gutenberg/ [r] ftp://dlib.eramisp.com/gut/ [e] http://gutenberg.kk.dk/ [w] ftp://www.artfiles.org/gutenberg.org/ [e] ftp://ftp.iif.hu/pub/gutenberg/ [4] http://gutenberg.unipmn.it/mirror/ [l] ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/metalab.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/ [w] ftp://ftp.samurai.com/pub/gutenberg/ [d] http://www.atexiansattic.com/www2/gutenberg/ [e] http://www.spiritdancers.org/pg/ Maybe this will be useful to others who maintain that SQL dump list.

Incidentally, the Gutenberg rsync page[1] could use a minor optimization/update to reflect shorter, more-concise rsync options. Currently, it states: rsync -rlHtSv --delete Those can be shortened to: # or HavS/SHav if its easier to remember rsync -avHS --delete In my own case, I also use -z and --partial, and exclude many of the files that aren't necessary to pull across for my mirror (the DVD and enormous genome datafiles, for example). Hope this helps. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com

I've been using this for my mirrors, and it works well. I've updated the mirror-howto accordingly. Thanks! -- Greg

Thanks, David. I'll check these again in a few days, in case these errors are transient, then remove the broken ones. I think the .cn one is inaccessible except from within China, intentionally. -- Greg
