[Qemu-devel] FreeOsZoo update

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Dear Renzo and friends,

I upgraded the web page again and would like your feedback. I added a 
to-do-list, submission guidelines and a contact list. Also, the SuSE 9.1 
image is available.

FreeOSZoo temporary site:
http://www.poure.com/qemu/

About downloading from Università di Bologna,
I checked the downloading speed and found:

Could you check the downloading speed from my dedicated server. They boast a 
pretty high speed, but this may be only half-true. From my DSL line 
connecting to www.poure.com, I have 120 Kbs/second.

What about you from Italy? Can other people try as well?

Can you check for example:
http://www.poure.com/qemu/SUSE-9.1-personal-x86.tar.bz2

This will help us determine the main FreeOSZoo downloading site. The images 
are rather large. When we register Qemu on search engines and freeware 
downloading sites, this will create a rush on Qemu and FreeOSZoo.

With pgAdmin, we sometimes have a million downloads in a month. We can only 
cope with it using 100 mirrors around the world. This time, I feel that 
Bittorent is the solution because the number of potential users is too large.

Kindest regards,
Jean-Michel

Thanks. This is fast as expected. 16 minutes to download a complete operating 
system is a nice challenge.

Do not hesitate to send me feedback about the SuSE autoconfiguration screens. 
Screenshots in win32 would be nice too (I don't run Win32) for publishing in 
FreeOSZoo project.

Check the unibo.it links in the downloading section on the temporary web site:
http://www.poure.com/qemu/

Kindest regards,

 1% [                                     ] 2,193,776     21.75K/s  ETA 2:06:07

A bit less throughput here..

I'm about 50ms away from tappo.students.cs.unibo.it, nexthop is via a
gigabit Level(3) connection, so I'm pretty sure it's not limited on my
end.

I get the same level of throughput from a different (academic) site that
is ~25ms away from unibo.it, which is on at least a gigabit connection
to GEANT.

Throughput is very variable as well, so I'd say the remote end is
congested.
