With the Oracle infrastructure going away we are in danger of losing the legacy downloads and the root of the MirrorBrain network.
I haven't realised that this counts also for the download webserver. I thought for mail services only.
Also it turns out that the Extensions site uses the url updateexte.services.openoffice.org for updates and that url points to download.services.openoffice.org
I don't know the reason for the linking. But maybe it's because a few extensions are outsourced from the main repository due to their high load. See:
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/extended/extensions/
SourceForge has asked to take control of updateexte.services.openoffice.org which makes sense.
Great.
What do we want to do about download.services.openoffice.org?
It can be switched to the alternative host which is hosted by MirrorBrain itself, so that this is used for serving downloads instead of the Oracle hosted service.
See the file "http://www.openoffice.org/download/globalvars.js";. Just exchange the content for the "MIRROR_MIRRORBRAIN_URL" and "MIRROR_MIRRORBRAIN2_URL" variables.
