Important: Please switch from installing Cloudsmith directly to our mirrors to avoid disruptions of Debian and RPM repository service

[michaelklishin]

The Problem

Our Cloudsmith account reaches its bandwidth quota effectively every month now, and all downloads directly from Cloudsmith are blocked when that happens until the quota rolls over next month.

There is nothing our team can do about it, we already get special deal terms from Cloudsmith.
However, there is an easily available solution: simply switch to our mirrors instead of consuming Debian and RPM packages from Cloudsmith directly [1][2].

The Solution

These mirrors are maintained by Team RabbitMQ, have an x24 the traffic quota (that can be cheaply expanded, while overages on Cloudsmith are really expensive).
They have been in operation since May 2023.

What You Must Do

Please switch away from Cloudsmith and to these mirrors ASAP, otherwise, every month usually during the first or second week, your package downloads will fail until the month rolls over and the next billing cycle starts.
