        Have you seen how incredibly slow their servers are lately?

        Check out the "Site Status" link and see how badly they're hurting
their projects, developers, bandwidth, and so on, with the growth they're
under. Did you know Sourceforge (ALL of Sourceforge) is run by one primary
server, and one backup server? In terms of sheer server load, I am 6x more
than they are at this point (though, not with nearly as much disk or
funding as they have).

        They're just now starting to learn what it means to load-balance
across projects, downloads, and their users. I'll see what I can do to put
files there for download. I'm not clear on what their policy is for using
them as a mirror.
