Re: Mirror list



it might be off topic for this list, but i think it may be
advantageous to think about using some sort of p2p type mechanism in
the future.

imagine an infinite supply of "mirrors" to grab the files from,
instead of centrally-hosted sites with what seems to be regular
turnover.

obviously would still need to have some sort of central servers with
the ports/packages list to verify the md5sum's of the files to ensure
integrity... could leverage existing protocols like bittorrent too.

just an idea. :)
