US aminet mirror
« on: June 24, 2004, 06:40:06 AM »
What happened to this US Aminet link?
I've noticed it down for some time now.

http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/~aminet/

It's like missing an old friend...

It worked for me. It seems to be abit hit or miss. It either loads fast or it doesn't load at all.

This might have something to do with it,
"Bandwidth limited 27 Sep 2002

Wuarchive has been bandwidth limited to 15Mbit/sec for outside Washington University to prevent interference with other University Internet activities."

If is too much going out when you request a page, you might not get it.

The US link has been a bit tempremental for a month or two now, most days it doesn't work, but some days it does.

It's annoying because I prefer the layout of the US one to the UK one :-(

I've noticed it not working much here too. I like the look of the US
one over the others myself.

Geeze it's still down. I can't get on the Washington University's main site either...

@Acill: by the way, off topic, not intending to start the Pegasos vs AmigaOne debate again..., but I was always curious about the Pegasos II.

Are you using MorphOS or LinuxPPC? I cannot get my Radeon 7000 PCI to run in 3D mode with SUSE Linux 8.1 Pro (plain 2.6 GHZ P4 Intel). Have you had any luck in 3D?

How does the Classic Amiga software run under emulation with it?

Mirror, mirror on the net... what's the bestest you can get?

http://de.aminet.net/aminet/

:-D

A nice US look and it doesn't go down often. The UK Aminet is a
horrible file list and not a search engine.

Hmmm, that looks suspiciously like a slightly more pazzaz version of UK Aminet.
