We used the http:// links as the main targets, and thos will still work. And I think that we will have to use the links to the torrents as the defaults, as those will finally use all the available mirrors. > > Also are all our mirror admins aware we changed the source of our main > > download?

If we only knew who all those admins are :) There is no address list, but one can probably be created by digging through the gimp-web bugs in Bugzilla and extracting the addresses for ftp mirrors bugs. > As I mentioned in the past the offer is still open for me to QA the GIMP > website frontend for dead links and generate a report.

Xenu's Link sleuth (http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html) didn't have any noticeable effect on the server (even the aging old one), so I don't see anything that would prevent you from running your link checker. Please give it a go and we'll have a look at the results. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
