I would run through the mirrors you have and check it a little bit. Someone plesae mail me a copy of the current ftp.sites or whatever it is called, so that I can update it with my archives of mirror sites.. I will then modify the failure announcement :) when there are too many ftp's with the output of that file. I will also give the status of the ftp sites wether they have a full mirror or a part mirror up down or whatever... >From this day forward until the slump between next releases :) any mirror _caught_ running in "user space" a.k.a. Anonymous are the mercy of a kill -9 PID. If you are still mirroring using anonymous please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will contact you from there. Infact add,to the announcement, that if they want to become a public mirror to mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will then add this to all needed files. (machine readable/human readable) Maybe for use with a ftp method so it knows where to go so the user can select a local site.. Anyway other than that I would go for it... Matt
