Of course, your views are important ( I hope the Apache group members also
can find time to read these mails. ).

Yes, I agree with you - ( I hadn't considered the actual size of the project
when I wrote
my last message ). You are right that we can, probably most of us, set aside a
couple of
Gigabytes for Apache.
And if everyone agrees to this, let the Apache group state the actual sizes (
and
perhaps anticipated sizes ) of the various modules on the 'how to mirror page'
and make the whole archive simpler to mirror. That should solve many of the
problems.
I appreciate all the mails that Jason has sent in the past to improve the Apache
mirror system and Andrew's efforts to make things right. Keep up the good work,
Guys ( and gals - if there are any - if not - why not ? ).
