I've tried ibiblio and several others when we started the mirror. Took
more than a week to get everything... Nearly all of them didn't follow
the rules of keeping the same directory structure and the whole
content, so I have no confidence in them. We're also tier 1, so we
have to be cautious with upstream. Others were no faster than the
master. Before you jump at me I should say that ibiblio and kernel.org
had the right content, but were very slow from here as well. BTW,
kernel.org is fast for your primary content; we mirror the whole scm
and kernel tree (more than a million files) and it comes at several
MB/s. However for other distros the speed is much smaller...

The ACL is for others to access our mirror, no? So Duke should adjust
it to give us access, which they don't. Once I asked for it in the
contact email listed in mirrormanager but got no answer.

Yes, I use it for the kernel (we're official country mirror). I once
asked for access to fedora as well but HPA didn't like the idea. I
didn't insist because it wasn't faster than the master. If Duke has
one it's hidden.
