Ah, ok. Of they won't change again there is no need.

The very nice people at southpole (.se) that used to run ftp.se.debian.org
are still involved in providing this service to the public, even if they
aren't running it directly any more.
I wonder a bit if some of the bigger linux supporters (IBM springs to

You might want to try and contact them. The hardest part would probably to
get in touch with the right person(s).

Ok, we will do that when we have diskspace for it, I think.
