This quick reaction encourages me to ask even more.

How to check if I am Internet2 qualifiable? I have asked our network
team. We are connected to the GÉANT Network (via Polish PIONEER/PSNC
Network) and we have 10 Gbps connectivity to European research networks.
So I decided to click the I2 checkbox.

The presentation at https://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager/ explains
also the "Internet2 clients" option. It also describes "ASN Clients?"
as: Serve all clients from the same ASN. Used for ISPs, companies, or
schools, not personal networks. What are the consequences of clicking
this? Just preference for the same ASN clients? And no such preference
for clients in other ASNs?

Another question concerns crawling. What it actually does and what
should I do with the site state below? I have already changed "User
active" to Yes. Should I do something to reenable crawling?
