Re: problem with main ftp site
I agree, mirror is a bit touchy, however, this is a setup which has been
working for 2 years now without a problem. As I mentioned in my first
message, I confirmed the problem with a command-line ftp session.
Nevertheless, I will probably try to point to one of the other mirrors or
to use mirrordir and see if it helps.
