at least there are new uploads being added to aminet, the only difference seems to be that it´s not possible to see which OS the file is made for (and probably some other suff as well).
I also found this note in their news section from 19 dec 2006:
As a last note, it's worth noticing that in 2006, we have surpassed the amount of uploads from 2005, 2004, 2003 and even 1992, which was the year Aminet started.
nice to see, but perhaps not so strange since Aminet was down for several years... :-P
