    SubjectRe: ftp.kernel.org overloaded :-(
    the mirror at:

    ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/pub/linux/kernel/

    seems to have picked up everything up to pre-patch-2.1.120-1 as of 6pm
    august 28... It runs on a 12 hour cycle, and the way I have it set up at
    the moment it seems to be keeping up with the rapid changes relativly
    well...

    HPA discussed this at some point. I haven't heard anything back on the
    issue since... part of the problem being that a full mirror is currently
    running around 4GB and seems to be growing by 10 or 20MB every other day
    at this point.
