I'm not certain I can donate the bandwidth for a lot of downloads - the disk is already there, as is some CPU (P166, which _might_ be enough - make world takes about 3.5 hours). I could make more CPU available by switching over my own box (PPro 200), but I would like to keep that for myself :-) I'll see how the setup works, and if the load on the machine for creating the releases turn out to be satisfactory, attempt to make it available to the wider community on a trial basis. If load for downloads turn out to be too much, I'll try to find somewhere else to make it available for ftp (paying for hosting if necessary.) Anybody else going to do the experiment? Eivind.
