SourceForge.net now has a mirror in SA

I noticed the mirror when I downloaded on Sunday, very nice indeed.
Did a download too & what a great suprise when I noticed Tenet, I could not believe and googled to see Tenet where
in which country

Congrats Andrew & team
 
The mirror is definitely up and serving hits.

I don't believe that it is possible to browse the sf mirror directly though. You need to go via the sf home page and you will automatically be directed according to your geolocation. If you don't get directed to the TENET mirror automatically then you can also choose it as an alternative mirror when you start your download.

I wasn't trying to browse the mirror directly, I chose a file to download then picked the Tenet mirror and the download wouldn't start.

I tried nslookup tenet.dl.sourceforge.net at home (on iBurst) and from UCT and neither would resolve. It is working again now though.
 
Is this still working? My downloads are coming from the University of Kent.

The tenet mirror only works for me when I log into my SourceForge account where I have set it as my default mirror.

Could you please check the mirror options in your profile as there is no longer any tenet option, at least not for me.
 
This is great news!!

Thank you, Andrew! Much appreciated what you guys are doing for us.

My default download mirror is still set to 'tenet', but I see if I try to change it, Tenet is no longer on the list.
 
ftp://mirror.ac.za/sourceforge/ - As mentioned before, this is the TENET mirror source which you can use as an alternative while the mirror is 'disabled' - seems like a pain in the ass at first to have to look up the app in a separate alphabetically sorted list, rather than the site doing it for you, but it's actually really quick and useful if you know what you're doing :-)

Can't connect to the site, will try a bit later again once my current download is finished saturating my link.

mirror.ac.za went down completely just after 16:00. I have no idea when it will be back.
 
Wonder who runs the show at tenet these days, they don't even reply to mails.
