It wasn't that that I was thinking of ... just wondering if there was some
way of having it redundant, instead of centralized ... nice thing about
ftp mirrors, we have about 60 of them, so if one goes down, it doesn't
really affect anything ... from what everyone is saying, if the tracker
goes down, it affects everything ... seems odd to have "new technology"
still having single points of failure :(
