[freenet-support] Mirror issues

[Florent Daignière (NextGen$)]

Hi,

For those who have experienced problems installing/updating
freenet last night, I apologize; One of our script has "cleaned
up" the directory, removing the freenet-stable-latest.sha1 file
from mirrors.

It has been sorted out and shouldn't occur again.

I do apologize, it's my bad.

Essentially, yes.  A mirror is basically a place that stores files.
Having files stored on several different mirrors achieves two things:
a)  the mirror servers don't get as heavily loaded, maximising your chance
of being able to download the file without getting a busy or try again
later message
b)  if you pick a mirror server closer to you the file is more likely to
download quickly.

 also can i mail in a donation?

Freenet supports donations either by paypal or by mailed-in cheque
(check).  The details are available at http://www.freenetproject.org and
clicking on Donate! on the far left hand side near the top.
