For start, I have just created a group with Yahoo:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/metacard_download/links
Everyone are welcome to join the group and offer bookmarks for MetaCard
download mirror site.
If you do not want to offer mirror site later, just delete it.
I'll be pleased if Scott may join the group to keep us inform on new update,
so that we may start updating our mirrors.
