To second that - there is essentially no point. People who access us from countries which control their internet and want to block the Bible, need to be cautious and come through proxies, tor or whatever or obtain stuff via CDs, USB sticks etc. Providing secondary download sources in the hope that they will not be observed while our main ones are - this is silly and actually more dangerous than going the long way via e.g. tor Bandwith - while this might become a problem, it clearly so far has not become one. We are on a good strong pipe with no problems. The offer is kind, is appreciated, but is essentially one which makes no sense to us, increases our opportunity costs and therefore should be declined. Personally, I would suggest if you want to share something with a friend, there is indeed not a lot which would stop you from mirroring for a few hours what you want to mirror, i.e. for the time required to download it. But do not kid yourself with thinking that it is more secure to download modules this way than via our server with some security measures applied. And bear copyright in mind. But we have been down this route of discussion already. In summary we welcome new volunteers, we are very happy for people to scratch their own itches instead of doing only what has been done before or following a prescribed programme, but some things simply do not make a lot of sense. I am sure you have skills aplenty which could be usefully employed. Your bandwith though likely not. At least not in this moment.
