All of SourceForge is currently struggling, apparently yesterday you couldnt even create directories. I wouldn't mind giving them another month or two to figure out their system. The new one could potentially be better than all the pulldowns we had to deal with previously, and maybe we can reorganize things into an archive so that only the two most relevant releases are visible. Wouldn't do it right now though. It's somewhat nice to think that they have a huge archive of all our stuff that it is actually somewhat difficult to lose due to the way it's distributed. Not doubting OSGeo's reliability, but I would definitely not trust S3 with this. -Arne -- Arne Kepp OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
