I'll probably maybe change it to something like 10.254.253.252, as that will probably be less likely to be really in use than 192.168.0.1, which is common in real private networks.
Clark.net is not in use, just start with the mirrors on www.toms.net/rb/, such as Tux or Utx, and look in the add-ons directoriy.
