Public SourceMage Discussion List

[Adam Clark <adamsgl AT dhbit.ca>]

Hi all,

As we roll towards 1.0, and as we are now beginning to get a little more 
press attention, or web linkage, than we've had in the past, I think 
it's important that, when at all possible, we direct people to do their 
Source Mage downloading from a mirror.

I've recently gone and updated our downloads and mirror pages on our 
website and added an informative file to the root of 
download.sourcemage.org to try and encourage people to choose a mirror 
rather than download from our main download location.

When people drop in to IRC or ask in the forums or wherever, let's tell 
people that the best thing to do is visit http://sourcemage.org/mirrors

I've also been working with mirror operators to try and get the mirrors 
to operate properly, so that the mirrors are actually up to date, 
purging old stuff when it disappears off of download.sm.org, etc.

While we don't have a ton of traffic currently, it will become more and 
more important to direct traffic off-site as the outside interest level 
grows.

Thanks!

Oh, and as usual, if you notice any issues on any mirrors or our own 
download site, please file them bugs!

-Adam
