All main Tier1 servers pull from:

  • rsync://rsync.xbmc.org/main/
    • excludes plugins as a courtesy to hosts to avoid possibly infringing files
    • Tier1 server: gatech.edu
    • all other USA mirrors should pull from them


  • rsync://rsync.xbmc.org/euro/
    • Tier1 server: df.lth.se
    • all other non-USA mirrors pull from them


Requirements:

  • Space needed: ~60GB
  • Mirrors pull at various times, the mirrorbrain database contains notes about these times.
  • Every hour on the hour is preferred where possible. Max is every 24h.
  • If mirrors ever move to a new server, the dns entry for rsync.xbmc.org can be changed and there should theoretically be no interruption. In reality, it makes sense to be sure that no one is pulling by IP or has whitelisted the current IP for our constant mirror status checks.
