The network here is fastest between about 20:00-10:00 CET, and I'll upload
to only one mirror at a time. I'll see what comes up, and I'll pick the
most-offering mirror around 20:00 tonight; the FTP will continue while I get
some sleep ;-)
So, if there's no one else, you'll be the first. If everything is fine with
your network people, send me (privately) all info I need to get it going.
