Re: Better FTP mirror in Israel (was: Re: your mail)
In message <116F804231@hagiga.jct.ac.il> you write:

|Technion FTP site.
The blocking is done on a per-host (per-network) basis, so if it is on
a machine which is allready blocked for access then it will continue
to be blocked.
|Besides, a FTP site needs not only disk space but also a connection of

More than you can possibly ever afford - a MAN (34Mbps?).
Besides, you are talking about such short distances that bandwidth is
almost negligable.
