Hey all!
Just wanted to bring this up again, it was on the list years ago, IIRC.
The basic idea is that everyone willing runs an ftp server on their
/var/spool/sorcery, giving us a huge network of mirrors.

You could download a file that's outdated without any trouble, It'll
stick around for a bit.
Also, you could download a large file in parts from different servers,
using all your available bandwidth for a change.

What's the count on people interested?
Who could run a central server for round-robin?
Maybe we can get this thing running this time!
So Far,
Karsten Behrmann
