Hi all,
I just wanted to add that if there's enough demand for it (i.e: if some
of you in Europe think we could do better for our mirroring) I could try
and ask the uni where I'm currently working to host some of our
material. I can't garantee it, but as they're already mirroring quite a
lot of Free stuff (ftp://ftp.jussieu.fr/pub/) I think it'd be worth a
shot. Especially since it's quite a nice pipe they have there.
I just don't want to ask them if we don't have any need for it.
Cheers,
Mathieu.
