First (and only) mirror in Malaysia! smile.gif

(I run that mirror. Had to manually sync instead of waiting for cron)

Not that it matters, grab them from Singapore, they have faster pipes.

Yeah, well, it's shared. It was needed when things were slow long time ago, back in 2009 or so. Jaring actually bloody physically pulled our eth last time coz they thought it was a DoS attack back in 10.04 release or so.

It's actually higher than that, but I rate limited ISO downloads. Too many greedy downloaders. archive mirror have higher rate limits. Shame the other guys (education) with bigger pipes not as maintained. The one by IPServerOne ought to be the preferred choice if available or updated.

Just asking... why no one host Fedora images again in Malaysia?
OSCC used to host them but now just old images... They can't keep up the pace?

EDIT ok apparently hosting Fedora Images is twice as much costly than any other distro...
Cool to see fellow Singaporean hosting Fedora :/

Also big thanks to Malaysian hosts too for Ubuntu... Not you UTM
