Well, it doesn't really help Chris. All the data will end up starting from
him anyway.

Sure, but I was under the impression this wasn't the problem.  Given
what Chris said:

And then David said:

So it looks like the server was the main issue here.

Once it's uploaded anywhere, we've got people willing to mirror it
infinitely ..

Has this been set up with Chris already?

I'm going to burn a DVD with the repo on it later today and mail it to
hpa since he's only like two towns over.

So, hopefully, it'll be up somewhere useful by the end of the week :)
