• Who will be taking on the responsibilities of the filegate?

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to All on Thu Dec 30 11:52:36 2021
    Hello All,

    First, sorry to see you go Janis. You have been a good link and friend for many years now.

    I am wondering where I will hatch files for the NASA. OPENXP and WINPOINT areas once Janis has taken her system down?

    Will someone be taking on this role?

    I have sent out a msg to all z1 hubs as specified in the FILEGATE.ZXX file regarding this and am happy to take on the FILEGATE role.

    The other problem is echo distribution as I do not know who acts as a major star hub for such.

    In any event I will need to contact all File source again as shown the the FILEGATE lists to arrange transfer to myself and also arrange to set up all other nodes that are current connected to Janis for file and echo's.

    Note for all my system ISP speeds are 210Mb down and 20Mb up so should have enough bandwidth providing I can ensure that I do not get every one polling at once :)

    If needed I will crash out any traffic whenever system congestion allows just as I do now for the other downlinks.

    The file are GFD is from a European source so that will not be affected how ever that only is for OS/2 areas.

    That all said file traffic is very low these days other than the stuff that comes via NASA.

    Personally North American and Atlantic weather maps is not very useful for Europe as it is way too late to be useful and in any event there is not enough information such as winds aloft to be really practical for forecasting at
    least as a pilot.

    Sorry to see Janis go. :(

    I can help with file distribution if needed. I already have a link with Alan.
