Soon we will start a book project, where we will allow users to upload .pdf and .txt files, for others to download, the articles/books should be linux/unix/computer oriented. I have a large collection myself, a lot of O`Reilly books....but we will need mirrors, so if you know of anyone, or if you could mirror them yourself, that would be great. Also, if you want to mirror, be warned, it may take a lot of bandwidth.We also ask that the mirror has good uptime (no home connections), and it at least on 10mb connection. Thanks in advance Very Happy

I think this is a great idea. Unfortuantely I only have a home connection and my work connection, well I don't think it'll hit the 10mb mark. Sad

Not that I could figure out how to host from there either. Confused

sounds cool but if youre talking about actual books and not just articles, you might run into copyright issues, if thats the sort of thing that concerns you.

That's why the first rule of "project mayhem", hrm... I mean "book project", is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT "book project".... Twisted Evil

the book project is a good idea, provide also article reviews for research purposes. Smile

nothing that is copyrighted will be put there, only with permission from the author, then we may use it.

Theres 10gb of space and 150gb of bandwith with gigabit uplinks to level3 and various other upstream providers with your name on it krod. (On the good server, not the shitty one which keeps getting pulled for no payment >_>)

I can mirror, I have paid hosting, and I barely use it, so it wouldnt be a problem.
