- dsr_ 10y agoMirrors almost universally use rsync, not FTP.
- frik 10y agoI mean FTP mirrors, that offer an 1:1 FTP directory mirror.

- throwawayish 10y agoLiterally no one does that. rsync-over-SSH is often used for this, sometimes plain rsync, sometimes custom stuff running atop SFTP (which is a completely different thing from FTP(S)).
- Twirrim 10y agoThey're the ones that will have the logs and information and will know how the service is and isn't being used. Not you, (unless you happen to be an actual kernel.org admin?) Just because it doesn't make sense to you, does not make it stupid.
