I think that mirroring would be an extremely good idea, especially because of the current situation. Ask Kao, he's got a stable host.

why can't you people see its not going to happen !!!

Someone should offer a mirror for the Stuffplug-NG validation code. As you may or may not know http://www.stuffplug.com has pasted its bandwidth limit and is now offline. There are 2 problems which is that Stuffplug-NG cant be downloaded from the main site (only places around the web and maybe a link on Mess.be and around the fourms) but the biggest problem it cannot be installed and used.

The person with the mirror must be trustworthy for TB and their mirror has got to be online 99% of the time. I think these accidents can be avoided like this.

w00t its back online!!!!!!

Guys the sites back up, i emailed him about it as soon as it passed the bandwidth limit. Not sure if he got it but its back up now. If the site was going to down for an extended amount of time yes it would be useful to have a backup validation site. But how are the users going to know how to get there when the sites down?

they can wait, it won't kill them to wait a couple of hours, days, or even weeks

well doesn't that ruin the whole intention of this thread? wasn't the point that when the main site is down users can go to an alternate site to get the validation so it will work?

Maybe TB could change the link in the installer to revert to another site/domain to redirect users to his main site if its up. But if its down then it will direct the users to an alternate site. Php script could every 30min or so check if the main site is up and have it like that?

no point what so ever, he mite as well just buy more bandwidth on his hosting

true, but bandwidth is not the only reason why sites go down.
