Mirroring

Dotsrc.org is currently carrying a large number of mirrors. All mirrors are accessible via http and ftp, and rsync is also offered for a selection.

Please see the mirror pages for information on how to access and request new mirrors.

Usenet

In collaboration with Aalborg University dotsrc.org provides free access to a large number of non-binary newsgroups.

You are required to sign-up to access the news server.

IRC

We provide one of the two IRCNet servers in Denmark. The service is only available for users in Denmark (*.dk).

News

News Server IP address change
Monday June 22nd 2009
Within the next few days we are going to change the IP address of our news server. We have already moved the backend parts of the news server setup to a new IP range, and we will now continue with the frontend part.

In general users shouldn't be affected by this change, but if you have been using our news service for a very long time, there is a chance that you news client might be configured to use "sunsite.dk" instead of "news.dotsrc.org" (or "news.sunsite.dk") as NNTP-server.

So if you experience any problems - AFTER THE CHANGE - please make sure that your client is configured to use "news.dotsrc.org" as NNTP-server.
Hardware upgrade for mirrors.dotsrc.org
Friday March 27th 2009
Mirrors.dotsrc.org has been down for maintenance today between 23:50 and 24:00. Thanks to DKUUG we have been able to upgrade the mirror server from 2 GiB RAM to 32 GiB RAM
New IP address for mirrors.dotsrc.org
Monday August 11th 2008
We have migrated our mirror service (http://mirrors.dotsrc.org / ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org) to a new, faster and more spacious server. Thus the IP address of the service has changed to 130.225.254.116. If you have ACLs in place you should update them to reflect this IP change.

In the not so distant future we will add more mirrors since we now have more space on the server. We will post news about this here.
