We have web/ftp-server here in Norway, Europe(59N, 10E) with 2 Mbit connection
to the net, and good connectivity to the US. We are mirroring Linux LDP (the
first i Norway), Apache and Samba (from Australia) dayly, and have been using
Linux since 1993.

Pls give us a msg if you want us to host the files. We can arrange for a virtual
web-server, if that is of interest.  We ca set upt an rsync server (very easy an
efficient for mirroring).
