ALT Linux Mirrors

what, where, how much

The whole repository including ISOs is at rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/ (you probably don't want all of that -- 581G by 2009-12-12); parts of it are updated roughly daily. There are also distinct parts specifically worth mirroring, namely latest stable release and current/unstable branch (Sisyphus). Overall picture is currently like this:

Latest stable release, "platform 5"

rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/p5/

35Gb, static+updated; consists of:
  • rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/p5/iso/ark/
8.0Gb, static between point releases
  • rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/p5/iso/school/
8.4Gb — ditto
  • rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/p5/branch/
47Gb (stable, i586+x86_64) — updates after QA from 5.1/branch

You might want to specificaly exclude known ancient (even if decent back then, e.g. Compact 2.3 and Master 2.4) — or too specific — parts of the archive, that is everything before 4.0 (including old/</tt).
