Whats your problem with: http://modprobe.de/grml/grml-www/ http://grml.gwendoline.at/grml-www/ http://mirror.inode.at/data/grml/grml-www/ ? Kind regards Nico
These reasons:
Server maintenance drains grml developer time. Easier to rsync and let others babysit servers.
Grml project pays for bandwidth that could be free -- or, relies on university resources that will not last forever as folks graduate, school policies change, etc.
Bandwidth could be much larger and better distributed.
Current mirrors are geographically concentrated (single point/region of failure). FYI Sourceforge recently opened a mirror in Australia and has numerous mirrors in the United States. To my knowledge grml has none in these regions.
