Hi,
Status update on the open-source distribution topic is that we are still
waiting for the cloud service provider. Today they been able to provide us with
new virtual machines for the distribution, but not yet big enough disk space
for the release data. As soon as we have the disk available, we can start
transferring the release packages to it, test that everything works and put the
system back online.
Yours,
Tuukka

Thank you for clarifying, Tuukka.
I am (along with many others, I'm sure) delighted to hear about the
upcoming ability to officially select mirrors, and look forward to an
improved download experience going forward. MirrorBrain does not
always pick the best source. [1]
Best of luck with setting up an alternative file server.
Regards,
Sze-Howe
