Please don't set up the crontab at SourceForge. Lots of projects run
webalizer and other things by crond, so that the SF-guys have a lot
of problems with loading-balance to their servers - particularly at
midnight PST (pacific summer time).
But you can store the snapshots both at SourceForge and at
ftp://ftp.ggi-project.org/pub/ggi/ggi-snapshots/.
I'd propose our ggi-ftp server as the first download choice and the
SF server as a mirror. The reason is, that SourceForge has bandwidth
problems from time to time, mostly caused by the CVS-traffic of all
projects...
