Hi David, Rather than spend your time setting up mirrors, just put the libraries up on Amazon's S3. $.15 / Gigabyte per month. -- That's 15 cents per month / G.
Spend your time setting up a tip jar for Simile instead. I'll put in $10 and I'd bet that'd cover S3 charges for quite a while.

I am going to investigate some ideas for getting the code mirrored at multiple sites with automatic failover. It'll take a few days at least to find things out.
