Hobbs Posted June 21, 2006 K I kinda kicked about whether this would be useful info, but as its there I figured there would be no use hiding it; I am hosting a Compet-N mirror at http://mirror.dmclub.org/compet-n. Note that this is only the Compet-N, and not the DANG or SDA, though if it would be beneficial, I could host those as well. I also dont have /html on there because I honestly dont know what its good for. Oya, a fairly current /incoming is also on there, for what its worth (just in case you didnt see it in the directory list). Also, if theres anything important or such I'm missing plx let me know. EDIT: I changed the location. Nobody will see anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Opulent Posted June 21, 2006 Cool! because of the nature of the resource, people may always want the master DB, but very cool. 0 Share this post Link to post

Cool. :) Any chance to mirror in such a way that the files' timestamps are preserved, though? 0 Share this post Link to post
Hobbs Posted June 27, 2006 Sorry for the bump, I haven't been paying attention to this area much lately, but I felt that I ought to answer Schneelocke's question; if there is a way to mirror preserving timestamps I don't know about it, and a quick google on the subject didn't help. :\ 0 Share this post Link to post

Alternatively, some ftp programs probably also support preserving timestamps; it all depends on how exactly you're mirroring things. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Hobbs Posted June 27, 2006 rsync is a *nix program, so I don't think I'm going to have a lot of luck with that.

I use the command line FTP client. Though getting an FTP program wouldn't be much of a problem. A working solution to this would be good, as preserving the timestamps seems like a fairly good idea. 0 Share this post Link to post

You could install Cygwin and run rsync that way. It's a rather poor excuse for an actual unix box, but on windows, it's probably the best you'll get. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Hobbs Posted June 27, 2006 From the site Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows. :( When I put Ubuntu on this PC I'll make sure to look into using rsync. For now I think I'm gonna leave it. Thanks for the help. 0 Share this post Link to post

That statement from the site is misleading, to say the least. What they mean is that you can't run native Linux binaries on windows; however, you can usually compile the program yourself without problems, and for common tools (like rsync), they provide packages, anyway, which you can just select in the installer. 0 Share this post Link to post
