Aminet US Mirror Back Soon

[adolescent]

According to the following note, the US Aminet mirror is coming back online soon;

Recieved the following good news from the WUArchive staff. :-D

Hello, everyone. I'm mailing a short list of people who had been mailing in asking about the status of the Aminet mirror.

At the current point, we've drug out what we had off of tape backup from the original Wuarchive, and are restoring it to the new machine right now. It'll probably take some time, and I do not have an ETA. You'll see it in it's usual location under FTP (/pub/aminet) when it's complete.

Go ahead and notify your community links that it will be coming back up, and also whomever runs the mirrors from Wuarchive that they ought to start working again.

Don't hesitate to email me directly for any additional configuration-type issues the community may have.

The sad thing was there were only 5 people on the list (excluding myself).  :-(  But, I'm overjoyed it is coming back.

There are lots of files since September in the upload directory of the German mirror that are waiting to be sorted and mirrored.  Although I didn't think WUArchive was the central site, it appears that when it died, so did the mirroring.

Looks like the mirror is now back up.  Still no new files but the old ones are (mostly) there.
