Hi Simon,
I'm working with the team to make this mirror offical, and eventually get the
ftp2.cn.debian.org alias as I've suggested to you. I'd like to introduce about
some details of our work to address your concerns.
We are working on the initial sync of other architectures that weren't synced
before using an up-to-date version of ftysync, and setting up ftp and rsync
services which are required for the qualification of
ftpX.xy.debian.org.
The team is very responsive comparing with most other mirror providers I've
worked with before, and they do have good skills to work out all kinds of
problems.
The mirror is hosted in Tsinghua University's DragonLab, where Tsinghua
University is the national core exchange of CERNET and CERNET2, so I believe
peering is not a problem. We have tested the mirror from several locations and
ISPs, it appears to be good enough to become an primary mirror even though
there might be local mirror being a bit faster for some users.
At last I'd like to ask for your help to set up push mirroring from ftpmaster
or syncproxy for this mirror, essentially to make it a Push-Primary one. It
won't take too long before we finish the initical sync of all architectures and
we'll be able to work on this issue then.
