I'm afraid your definition of "down" is a bit restrictive. I believe that e.g. mirrors.sunsite.dk will actually work for users in .dk but not allow access to others. I'm not sure if this is a happy solution, but the benefit of their mirroring anything at all is certainly questionable if there will be no link to their mirror, don't you think? /* era */ -- Join the civilized world -- ban spam like we did! <http://www.euro.cauce.org/> tee -a $HOME/.signature <$HOME/.plan >http://www.iki.fi/era/index.html
