Mirrors!
So after getting presented with a rather large Amazon S3 bill we’ve put out a call for mirrors from our community. I’m shocked how many people came forward with offers to host our releases! As of this writing we have 16 mirrors with >10mbit/s upload speeds. We’ve also implemented some scripts to check which sites are overloaded at the moment and refer to other mirrors who aren’t under a heavy load.
Since we’re trying to do our rotations internally to balance things out if you want to link a download to plex in the future can you please use either http://www.plexapp.com or http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Downloads so that we can properly balance the load and ensure that the mirror is available.
I’d like to thank all the Plex users jumped on the opportunity to help out almost immediately!
