Hi,

iMatix used to host the ZeroMQ downloads, at download.zeromq.org, on a Gandi VM. About a year ago the ZeroMQ downloads were moved from that Gandi VM to (a) GitHub (most newer releases), and (b) archive.org via a redirector service now pointed to by download.zeromq.org, for older historical releases.

Now that it's been about a year since the old Gandi VM was shut down, I've been planning on finally deleting the disk image of the old Gandi VM -- it's costing a few Euro a month to keep around, and given no one has asked about it in the last year, it seems time to let it go.

When checking on the disk images status I also found a Gandi announcement from May:

https://news.gandi.net/en/2017/05/moving-to-our-new-datacenter/

that they are closing the data centre those disk images live in, in November. So that probably sets a final time to do something with the disk images if we need them, ie in the next two months.

Before I deleted the disk images, I thought I'd ask whether there was anything else, not already online elsewhere, that someone was hoping would be recovered from download.zeromq.org or other iMatix download hosting. (In theory it might be possible to find afterwards out of the disk images of iMatix's other main server, but the Gandi VM is definitely the easiest thing to put back online quickly, before the disk images are deleted.)

Please let me know directly if you have any reason why these iMatix disk images should be kept and/or put back online for a while so something can be retrieved. If I don't hear anything by Wednesday 6 September I'll probably finally delete the disk images later that week.

Thanks,

Ewen
