thanks to everyone for their help w/ the Knight challenge! we didn't get it, the application wasn't specific enough to a geographic location. on to other opportunities... SourceForge doesn't use metalinks yet! https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/index.php?func=detail&aid=1687501&group_id=1&atid=350001 I still have occasional problems downloading when their mirrors haven't synced... One Laptop Per Child. what a cool thing! OLPC system images are quite large, ISO sized sometimes, & probably downloaded by people w/ awful internet connections. Python is a main part of their system. maybe a chance to integrate metalink-checker for system update downloads? http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Builds#Stable_builds launchpad.net, Canonical's webapp for bugs, translations, etc. launchpad is closed source for now, so we can't submit patches, but in the future will be open. or we could get someone sympathetic on the inside. see this download page https://launchpad.net/bzr/+download w/ md5 & signatures. could be really slick! -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
