- Well Australia is connected to the USA via a fairly fast satellite link
- (512kbit/s) and I've never seen any problems when using an NFS disk
- mounted from the USA.
-
- How was it done ?
-
- # mount wuarchive.wustle.edu:/archive/mirrors /mirror
-
- Was much easier than having ftp running (although slower too).

- Darren.
