For nearly year we used ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl as our primary mirror and 
also as build machine. In next 1-2 weeks machine will get cleaned and 
moved to other tasks.

I want to thanks Koen Kooi for providing disk space there so we were able 
to provide feeds and images for our users. Without CPU power of that 
machine I would not be able to provide OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1/3.5.4.2-rc so 
easily (my home machine is not reliable enough to do builds).

Now we have to think about new home for our releases. Thanks to 
Matthias 'CoreDump' Hentges we have it mirrored and available under 
adress http://feeds.openzaurus.org/ (thx goes to Chris 'kergoth' Larson 
for providing that CNAME). 

But when we release new version bandwidth usage is very big - for example 
OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 took about 14GB in first days after release. We have 
to think how to solve it as we do not have mirrors without transfer 
limits now.

One of solutions is moving OpenZaurus to LinuxToGo but it would need 
getting new machine to LTG project so we have to collect money. That will 
also mean moving website from SourceForge so it will work faster.

Any thoughts/commments/suggestions?
