Mirroring Support

Open oxinabox opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I think it might be good to have support for mirrors. I think the WikiCorpus server has gone down. I could rehost a copy on one of my servers, and then there would still be a copy.

Thanks for the quick replies as usual 😃

I'm having trouble running CI on a package that uses DataDeps (and NCDatasets). Nothing wrong with DataDeps BTW, it's just that my package's purpose is to provide simple functions to users for downloading data and processing it. To make sure it will always work for them, I though it would be a good idea to run a full CI on all the URLs that users may try (there are 100sof URLs). But this generally fails because some of the URLs randomly don't work. Do you have a suggestion to run such tests?
