Thanks for the report, John. I regularily run a link checker that also covers our mirror sites. That is not as easy as it may seem at first since some mirrors only provide local access within their geography and removing them based on my testing from one place on the planet would be premature. That said, mirrors.laffeycomputer.com may indeed not be active anymore. Let me include mirrormas...@laffey.biz, the documented contact for that mirror. mirrormas...@laffey.biz, would you mind letting us know about the status of your GCC mirror site? Indeed I'm not able to access this from any machine I am trying, always running into a timeout. Gerald
