I can help with this, I wanted to get more into that mirroring stuff nontheless.
But it may take some time, so if you don't need it by tomorrow, you can count 
on me.

Maybe some issues have been discussed already, but we should think about how to
do the download stuff in the future.

The bouncer is a great idea, and most mirrors (even extended mirrors) support
HTTP nowadays. We shouldn't have download pages for each and every project, like
the new Mac port and every NLC project - but rather use a centralized download
site, with one mirror database that also contains links to special downloads,
like the Germanophone ISO, the Portable edition, Mac OS X snapshots and so on.
Otherwise, it gets more and more complicated. I can only speak of the DE
project, but we have:
- our own ooodev rsync for PrOOo-Box (page 1), OOoPortable (page 2)
- the normal rsync for the releases (page 3)
- special links for language packs and RCs (page 4)

So, only the DE project has to link to at least for different sites, with four
different mirror databases.

New extended mirrors are in the queue, so we shouldn't have download trouble in
the future - we just need to organize the mirroring.

Maybe I should sum up my thoughs on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or is there a better list?
