Creeperhost needs your help! We have a geo system for downloads ready to test.

OpenDNS seems to be routing me to the US server 199.96.83.199

Will there be a way to set this manually? (other than editing the hosts file)

 

[Paul_T]

Well, Honestly I'm going to suggest a dropdown with "Europe" and "United States" for all the downloads... Unfortunately GeoDNS is based off the location of your DNS servers, this is also how Akamai and Amazon do it.

Happy to help, glad things will be better now

Trying to get multiple mirrors in each location working, really quite hard to test it with caching DNS servers getting in the way.

Can you guys ping america.creeperrepo.net and let me know either what it says after "Pinging" (Either chicago1 or chicago2) or the IP, that's be absolutely fantastic.

Easy, it's not cheaper, and I like control.

FTB can easily have 20,000,000 GET requests a day, that many requests on Amazon S3 would retail at $20, that's excluding the charge for the storage space.

Using their own "Simple Monthly Calculator", they would charge $3460.15 for what we provide at the moment for, I'll be honest, with the new system I've done it's going to cost us around $500...

With their calculator I selected only 5GB drive space, the actual monthly data transfer FTB are using at the moment, and an estimated amount of requests for a month, on the low side at that.

Our one provides 3TB storage, unlimited data transfer (Only limited by the concurrency of the boxes, currently sitting at around 14GBit/sec)... I think you can see now why we're doing this ourself, or I hope so.

I understand, I was more or less making sure you understood it already existed in another form.

The country you live in: Denmark
What IP do you get from pinging this address:

• www.creeperrepo.net - 46.105.119.55
• chicago1.creeperrepo.net - 199.96.83.199

 

[Meldiron]

Pinging america.creeperrepo.net gave me chicago1.creeperrepo.net

 

[Chapnik]

chicago1

 

[Paul_T]

Tweaked it again, looks like I can't get round robin working on the GeoDNS, so what I've done is just sliced the US in 2, half get 1 box, half get the other, not an ideal solution but it'll work.
