Hi All, the GRASS community needs as soon as possible someone willing to offer a few GB and some bandwidth in Latin America and / or South Africa, because users located over there are experiencing serious problem in downloading the software (see below an email from grass-web ML). Please help!

We should be able to find an GRASS/OSGeo community member in the GRASS user or OSGeo discuss list to offer a few GB and some bandwidth. Maybe Madi, can you publicly ask? > The two > guys who tried to download are in Congo DRC and Tanzania. ok, so still another South Africa mirror would be good.

Let's see if needed. So, what we have and how it works (relevant for Madi and me): http://grass.osgeo.org/mirrors/ To "clone" the master server is now easy, one line of command essentially which points to the polish server. With Pawel Netzel who set it up, I already tried how to put the actually mirror name onto the main page but it was not yet beautiful enough for us. But that's a minor detail Best Markus PS: Those I have added here, hope that was ok. But I must be very efficient these days. -- Margherita DI LEO Postdoctoral Researcher European Commission - DG JRC Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES).
