I would also like that we take advantage of MirrorBrain besides SourceForge, in the way Roberto suggests in another discussion (redirect update requests to MirrorBrain) or some other agreement. MirrorBrain is a working and well-tested community service and it would be great if Apache used it to serve its share of OpenOffice downloads (obviously, after Peter and Infra coordinate on how to host and maintain MirrorBrain as part of the Apache infrastructure) on the long term (so, not only for version 3.4). Having two systems, SourceForge and MirrorBrain, would provide extremely good reliability and scalability for the OpenOffice downloads. I don't know performance of the existing Apache mirror network, but the performance and reliability offered by MirrorBrain so far surely deserve attention. Regards, Andrea.
