Well, there is more than one way to look at it. As a rule, my guess is while this mailing list isn't generally meant for that type of thing, there probably isn't a hard rule against it. However, since people were asking for a solution to this very problem, I suppose it's not such a bad thing to

It seems odd to me that a lot of hosts are using their own webspace to host the same files as other hosts. I get that that it would take some organization, but i imagine that established GSPs would benefit from a communal, locality based download server. Eg, here in Australia as a small time

There would be a site but we've been far to busy doing sites for clients! I agree the colour scheme is horrible thus is the reason we aren't using now! Anyway if that is the response I'm going to get for offering a solutions to someone's problems I won't bother next time. Kind Regards Ollie
