Because of the change of machines, there are loads of broken links, which hinders the average user (who doesn't care about checking mirrors if a link is "broken"). That's my only concern. There should be a notice about it on the main page, or any absolute links to FTP sites should be changed to relative links or links to a CGI which chooses an appropriate FTP site, or can be changed in the www CVS as an external variable (so each file doesn't need changed) or something so when the site is co'd/export'd and mirrored, it points to current, working, known-good links.
