I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but would it not take the load off of the main server if Patchou (or a designated helper) were to check out the mirror locations from the last release of
, and those that are still coming up as active be sent an email (assuming that the person has an email address listed on their board account) with a copy of the new release. When the public release happens, a list of alternate locations can already be in place.
This could help spread the load out over a multitude of locations, and may ease the strain on the main server.
