I'm sorry. I must have missed that e-mail. Everything is fine now. I have updated LATEST-IS (but it hasn't propagated to ftp.gnome.org when I'm writing it). I'll probably upload the snapshots there if I find an appropriate directory ("stable" in the path may be misleading). Unfortunately, reusing the directory structure of ftp.gnome.org can make some people think that MC is a GNOME program, especially if I put snapshots to /ftp/pub/GNOME/testing. I need to think more about it. > >2) Slowliness of ftp.gnome.org (it redirects to a site in Sweden).

There is no German message there. But there is an interesting English message there: This ftp server belongs to ACC and the disk space is generously sponsored by South Pole AB and CodeFactory AB. ... Please use http://ftp.acc.umu.se/ whenever possible. I think it's quite unfortunate to see that ftp.gnome.org doen't belong to the GNOME project. > >By the way, could you please explain what was "terrible" and why do you > >think that the location was changed twice?

You mentioned that the location changed twice in one _week_, perhaps you meant one year. If you want stabilization, don't use any URLs containing "gnome". MC is not a GNOME project. It's using some GNOME resources because its developers cannot afford running a separate server.
