another message, I had heard that the fermilab ftp mirror (of Batavia,
Illinois, USA) has no intention to go down any time soon. The contact
there, Troy Dawson, kindly informed Jesse Keating that fnal's mirror
has always been a full mirror of the legacy repository, and pains were
taken to make sure it would remain there without losing any data or
packages when the main repo went down.

A mirror I have used in the past at Iowa State University (Ames, Iowa,
USA) appears to still be up, but I have no idea what plans, if any, they

We're planning to keep them up for at least six months to a year so
long as we are getting significant downloads from people. If the numbers
start to drop, we'll probably take it down sooner than that.
Current stats:
RPMS downloaded in November: 5987
RPMS downloaded in December: 10620
RPMS downloaded in January: 3006
RPMs downloaded since Feb 1: 19799
So, at least some people still find us useful. :+D
We don't think, from a security point of view, that it is responsible
to encourage people to use older systems by leaving them up longer than
a year. But that gives people time to find a suitable migration path.

Also I'd like to know if there's a list of mirrors that will
to be available for a while. If not I'd like to know how I can rsync all
packages created by the Fedora Legacy Project without also rsyncing the
packages that are still available at download.fedora.redhat.com. Most
packages have legacy in their filename, but I believe some do not. Can
anyone shed some more light on this?
In addition to what someone else said about the planetmirror mirror inpackages created by the Fedora Legacy Project without also rsyncing the
packages that are still available at download.fedora.redhat.com. Most
