Question about downloading OW.

[Brian Covey]

Erick-
We've gotten reports of some of the upstream providers in Europe having 
hosed their DNS servers and misreporting planetmirror.com as an unknown 
address within the last couple of weeks; it's not outside the realm of 
possibility that those are still kicking around in nooks and crannies on 
the net, but that was several weeks ago, so it would be a little strange.

That said, they can always try grabbing the file from their iDisk, or 
from our ftp servers. Though that latter method tends to be fairly slow 
(and somewhat deliberately so; we'd rather offload as much as possible 
of the download traffic to organizations that have much much fatter 
pipes than we do, and have the ftp server available when needed.).

Sincerely,

Brian Covey
