 monitoring on the rsync origin servers (and I suppose for the private
 server now)?

 FYI, I run a cronjob that notifies me if the ports.tar on
 rsync.macports.org gets outdated, and forward this to the list whenever
 this happens. Haven't done this for this specific outage, since I figured
 everybody already knows.

 This doesn't cover the packages and distfiles servers, but since it's all
 the same machine anyway, it should be good enough.

 > Probably best if one of our existing mirrors can add this - if not, I
 can double-check and see if it'll be OK for me to do this on a box I have
 co-located on a gige connection - it would be helpful to get some traffic
 statistics to determine if I can or not.

 The mirror at FAU provides some traffic statistics when it's up. For
 example, here's the traffic of a random day I've picked:
 http://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-
 stats.cgi?statstype=1&datum=2020-05-20&orderby=mirrorname&orderdir=desc&submit=Go%21
 (scroll to the four entries for MacPorts)

 You can also generate graphs using the form at the top of the page:
 http://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-
 stats.cgi?statstype=2&what=bytes&mirrorname=macports%2Fpackages&timespan=-1&graphsize=large&submit=Go%21

 We also do get statistics from our CDN, but I don't think I have access to
 that.
