We did. The canonical site for DOSEMU *was* tsx-11. We placed a note on
the TSX-11 site quoting www.dosemu.org & the ftp address when we could no
longer reliably upload and we got the dosemu.org domain. The LSM entry was
also updated to list ftp.dosemu.org as the primary site.
The problem is with sites mirroring others and not paying attention. We
are not responsible for notifying the mirrors of a mirror site (or even
the mirrors of a site we don't adminster) *IF* people registered their
mirror sites with us then we would notify them of any changes. We have
only a few *registered* sites, although we know (and list) a few others on
the FTP/WWW site.
