Yeah - my email was written before I read the one from you announcing the 
new server (woohoo!). When this is finished, we should have the .com URL 
back, and things should get much more reliable very quickly. I still think 
that a mirror's a good idea, though.


A full-website-each-night mirror isn't going to be that good an idea, 
*especially* on a 3GB/month limit. Rsync would be a better bet, but failing 
that I suppose I could tar up just the php files, and rely on manual 
intervention to retrieve stuff like new releases and images.
