Is that not enough for you? How long is it taking you to download things? Or am I missing something here? We could keep things a little longer if needed, but those builds are only meant to be a development snapshot atm. >Any idea when the next longer-lived netinst.iso file will be built (i.e. >right now its the alpha1)?
