To compensate the fall out of us.aminet.net, a new Aminet main server has been established.
It can be reached at www.aminet.net (http://www.aminet.net) or main.aminet.net (http://main.aminet.net). Aminet now uses a completely new web interface written Nicolas Mendoza, originally implemented for amirepo.net (http://www.amirepo.net). As most of the internal scripts aswell as the new web interface had to be adapted or have been rewritten from scratch, there still might be some rough edges, smaller bugs or dead links left - but Aminet is working again and uploads are getting processed.
Please note that currently only the main server is working properly, mirrors are not being updated yet and uploads at mirror sites are ignored. This will be addressed later on - for now please stick to the URLs given above to access Aminet. If you want to upload to Aminet, use your favourite FTP client to connect to main.aminet.net and upload to the "new" directory as outlined in Aminet's help files.
Urban Mueller, founder and main administrator of Aminet, is going to retire as soon as the new infrastructure is in place. He will be hosting the main server but will no longer be part of the administration team. The exact details of Aminet's future administration structure are not decided yet, but amiga-news.de is currently assembling a new team that will be responsible for Aminet in the future.
Volunteers wanted
We are searching for one or two volunteers that could assist us in moderating uploads. An upload moderator should meet the following requirements:
- Basic knowledge about Unix shells (moving, deleting, renaming files)
- Broadband internet access
- English speaker
If you fullfill these requirements and would like to become a part of the new Aminet team, please contact us at team@amiga-news.de (http://mailto:team@amiga-news.de).

Surprise, surprise! I was wondering what they were doing. Poof...new web interface over the weekend!
Awesome job, Urban Mueller & Nicolas Mendoza!! We hate to see you go, Urban, but thanks for everything! If it wasn't for Aminet, I wouldn't have gotten the great files I needed! Thank you for keeping it alive! :-)

Hoya!
Aminet is one of the BEST things that ever happened to our beloved machine.
Hats off to Urban!
Be funky

Woohoo! I'll finally send my game up to the new server, after a year long wait.
Aminet has been really missed (ie. as in new uploads; I'm aware there's still the archive).
Sorry I won't be able to help, but I'll offer my congratualations and vocal support.
EDIT: Except, er, how do I upload a file again? D'oh.
And the new site looks much better. Much easier to read- excellent interface. And I forgot I put up a 10-level demo of The Power of the Ginger game/jump, bottom of first page.

Great news indeed! :)
There's been a ton of uploads in the recent list... how can you get the FULL list up recent uploads? I've missed a lot :-(
Keep up the good work guys!
Cheers,
D.
