Hi Nathan, Ideally, if you put the template location in (or use a template defined in) test_data.py then the actual location can be overridden by anyone testing.
For Trillian, we've copied all of the templates that people have define to a local repo and then replace the URLs in test_data.py to reduce bandwidth use and download times. Ie: "bootableIso": { "displaytext": "Test Bootable ISO", "name": "testISO", "bootable": True, "ispublic": False, "url": "{{ marvin_images_location }}/TinyCore-current.iso", "ostype": 'Other Linux (64-bit)', "mode": 'HTTP_DOWNLOAD' }, I thought that we had come up with a solution for download.cloud.com, by having a mirrorlist hosted in Community Apache 'space' with anyone able to out themselves forward as a mirror. But I must admit I lost track of whether anyone made the requisite changes in code....
