Soon Tor website mirrors will use more space

Just a heads up to folks here -- the dist/ part of the website will balloon to 8 or 9 gigs soon, once we put our Tor Browser updater infrastructure in place: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12954 I pondered whether it makes sense to let people volunteer mirrors of the html pages but not the dist/ files, but maybe that's just too much of a hassle, and besides most people probably want mirrors for their dist/ files. Let us know if that was a horrible choice. :) Thanks, --Roger

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, - From my point of view it's irrelevant to host just the html pages without the dist files. The reason (at least for me) to run a mirror is to help users who cannot reach torproject.org fetch the software and browse the internet freely. I also use it for myself along with some friends, but it's all about the dist files, not the html information about what is Tor, how it works, manuals and tutorials. Hope 8-9GB won't be a problem for majority of mirrors available. On 9/2/2014 1:43 AM, Roger Dingledine wrote:
