Mirroring The Repositories Is Not Okay

Dear power-users,

the machine serving the IPS repositories is not made for gigabits of mirroring-traffic. It is not.

I'll lock out from now on the mirroring requests. You should not have real use for a repository with tons of old packages and gigabytes of source files. (Have you already looked at what hits your local disk?)

So please, don't mirror. Just don't. If you look at the document "quicklinks" then you probably already know that you should not mirror the development repositories.
