Well, I will remail you a letter from Miguel some later. As far as I remember I sent it to you privately but you did not answer me. >Use my public key to send me sensitive information. It available at >http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/pubring.gpg.asc Ok. But after I will get back home. >The reasons to change the site were: > >1) I have no access to ftp.gnome.org > >2) Slowliness of ftp.gnome.org (it redirects to a site in Sweden). I had >reports from Eupore that ibiblio.org is faster than ftp.gnome.org, even >though the former is in the United States. I have no problem with ftp.gnome.org from Ukraine but one is German/Sweden message.
