The WMF hosts a mirror of the ZIM files we generate at Kiwix at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/. This is a great value for us. Since 6 months, we have been advertising in priority "portable packages" on our web site. They are big zip files containing (Kiwix+ZIM+fulltext index). This is really easier to use and well appreciated by Windows and Linux users. Our problem is that we have a growing traffic and a important part of the traffic is generated by these portable packages. These zip files are available at http://download.kiwix.org/portable/ and this would be great if this directory could be also be mirrored. You can consider that this repertory is around 2 times bigger than the zim directory. Currently 239G for the "zim" directory and 329G for the "portable" directory. We are also reorganizing the directory structure to create thematic sub-directories, so the directories which should be mirrored additionally to the current "zim/0.9/" one would be: zim/wikipedia zim/wikisource zim/wiktionary zim/wikivoyage portable/wikipedia portable/wikisource portable/wiktionary portable/wikivoyage
No feedback on this. This is not really urgent, but would that be a least possible to mirror also "zim/wikipedia" in addition to "zim/0.9/"? New wikipedia ZIM files are stored there instead of in "zim/0.9" (which is still necessary for legacy purposes).
Ariel: Could you answer comment 1?
@Ariel, it would be really great if the rsync conf. would be adapted now. More an more ZIM files are in the new hierarchy.
