Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

I have just launched a mirror to download SourceMod builds to help AlliedModders save on Bandwidth Costs.

https://sarabveer.me/am-mirror/

The Mirror will update 12:00AM Daily EST/EDT with the latest build at the time.

Currently, SourceMod 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 are mirrored.

I also have a link which redirects to the latest build you also need that for something.

If the need was there for AlliedModders to save on bandwidth costs, AlliedModders could easily cache their files with CloudFlare that AlliedModders run over. ;)

Re: Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

Problem is, CF doesn't cache anything except normal website stuff (html/css/js/images), unless you are paying for the business plan.
Had to find that out with my fastDL, still getting 5TB traffic each month despite running CF.

Re: Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

Part of the reason why we did away with the mirrors we had is because self-hosting is not a concern with our current setup.

Re: Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

while thirdparty mirrors are nice to have ill always will be having trust issues with them, they might slip through some backdoored files.

Re: Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

Worst case scenario, AlliedModders could post releases on GitHub, which mirrors its releases using Amazon S3.

Re: Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

Why would anyone use unofficial sources to get sourcemod?

Re: Sarabveer's SourceMod Downloads Mirror

All I have is a Cron Job that runs the script below, Twice a Day, 12AM & 12PM.

PHP Code:


		
			
#!/bin/bash
SM19LINUX=$(curl -s -L http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.9/sourcemod-latest-linux)
SM18LINUX=$(curl -s -L http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.8/sourcemod-latest-linux)
SM17LINUX=$(curl -s -L http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.7/sourcemod-latest-linux)
SM19WIN=$(curl -s -L http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.9/sourcemod-latest-windows)
SM18WIN=$(curl -s -L http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.8/sourcemod-latest-windows)
SM17WIN=$(curl -s -L http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.7/sourcemod-latest-windows)

wget -q -N -P /mnt/alliedmodders/am-mirror/sourcemod/1.7/windows http://www.sourcemod.net/smdrop/1.7/$SM17WIN

latest.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
$files = glob("*.zip"); //tar.gz for linux
$files = array_combine($files, array_map("filemtime", $files));
arsort($files);
$latest_file = key($files);
header("Location: https://sarabveer.me/am-mirror/sourcemod/1.9/windows/$latest_file", true, 302);
?>

Also really about security and tampering, is it that hard to to compare the MD5, SHA-1, or even SHA-256 hashes of the two zips to see if they have been tampered with.

Comparing them would require downloading both, which defeats the purpose.
