They are apparently threatening to do so now.  (See the relevant news item recently posted on this)

It is mirrored, of course, and a number of people have private mirrors, but AmiNet is very gradually losing publicly available sites.  It would be very helpful to have Aminet available when the AmigaOne goes on the regular market with OS4.  I think it is a worrisome thing when the main site goes down without being replaced by another somewhere, and I am concerned.  There's a lot of history and information on AmiNet, and it would be a shame for it to become fragmented.

Already done....:-)
I have left off mods, pix, and demos because I have no personal interest in them.  Many other people do, however, so I am considering taking these as well.  These three sections account for well over half of AmiNet however (some 12 gb or so out of 20+gb IIRC).  The actual software section (and some extras) is about 8 gb or so.

That's an idea very worth pursuing.....Since they're basically in a startup condition as far as Amiga Inc is concerned, I don't think they'll want to contribute much in the way of cash, as they'll need that....but perhaps we could get them talking to Urban Mueller about hosting the main Aminet site in place of wuarchive....what do you think ?
