We're working on it --- open.hands.com has anon-ftp and anon-rsync, but is not currently able to produce CD images, because it's having trouble running mkhybrid re-compiled for libc5 (it's still running bo, I should be able to fix that this evening either by upgrading to hamm, or fixing mkhybrid). In the mean time, if European testers need to get copies of the distribution, I'd suggest rsync to open.hands.com as a viable method. Please mail me, before grabbing the whole thing, because the machine is only on the Internet through the kindness of the folks at Netcom UK, and I don't want the bandwidth usage getting totally out of hand. Also, I can give you hints on the excludes-file you probably want to use to avoid getting all the architectures etc. Once CD images get produced, rsync would seem to be the best way to go, since subsequent downloads will only need the differences to be transfered.
