Ian, I've got a Comp Sci Alumni account at UW-Madison. Madison hosts Linux ISOs, Debian package archives, and other high volume stuff. I doubt they'll begrudge me 3MB, even if I get 5,000 downloads/day. According to: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/twiki/bin/view/CSDocs/CSLAccountPolicy # Appropriate Uses: * These include research, instruction, scholarly communication and administration involving UW-Madison faculty, staff and students. Any activities in support of the above are also allowed. I'm not a lawyer, but I think I can sell the "activities in support of research" angle of Freenet to anybody who asks. Let me know what you think. Patrick Meade meade at cs.wisc.edu PS>I'm on Tech but not Devl. Use Tech list or e-mail me directly if you need me to see the response.
