Mirror System

The FPSB mirrors are remote web servers that replicate our local files and serve them to our users. FPSB and its mirrors form a distributed content delivery system which shares bandwidth and improves download speeds for users.

File mirrors are an integral part of FPSBANANA. Without them, we would not be able to afford to keep the website running as bandwidth costs would exceed our ad revenue each month. If you have a web server and you appreciate what FPSB does for you and for your community, you can add your own file mirror to support us. File mirrors are accessed remotely by FPSB using FTP and accessed by our users using HTTP or FTP. All you need to do is provide your mirror's FTP details and specify a few requirements and the rest is done automatically. If you don't understand all this jargon but want to help out, contact tom and he will help you out!

Our mirror system consists of the following programs:

qSYNC: Transfers a new file to a random ONLINE mirror (runs every 2 minutes).
ReSYNC: Transfers a popular file to a random mirror (runs every 2 minutes).
InitSYNC: Sets up a random mirror with a SETUP status. The setup verifies the connection and creates mandatory directories (runs every 30 minutes).
CheckSYNC: Checks the integrity of newly synchronized files on a random mirror with an ONLINE status (runs every 5 minutes).
CleanUpSYNC: Removes old and unpopular files from a random mirror with a FULL status (runs every hour).

Explanation of the mirror status codes can be found here.

Hmm, I set up 10 mirrors on the 14th of May. and they were set up fine, and FPSB uploaded to then fine, however, now I'm getting errors whenever FPSB tries to upload a file, all the info is right however, and i believe that FPSB is still connecting, but it seems to be timing out... is anyone able to give me some insight?

I setup a ftp to mirror maps (1155), but the script wasn't able to create the dir "maps". I don't know why, the permissions are given. After creating the dir manually, I switched the state from "error" to "setup". But the fpsbanana bot doesn't come back. Should I just wait or is any action asked? EDIT: I had to create a according subdir on the mirror myself, trashed the old mirror and created a new one - working.

"Howd I get myself a mirror?" You need to have free webspace: At least 500mb free disk space and 500mb/day bandwidth, then you just follow the "Add mirror" Guide, and it should be up in about 1/2 hours
