This topic has recently been brought up in comp.sys.amiga.misc, but was also discussed elsewhere before. With what seems like more and more Aminet mirrors closing down or becoming very unreliable, it was suggested that Amiga should host a mirror on their site. Seeing how Aminet is a prime resource for past, present and future Amiga programs and files, I think it would be a sensible decision for Amiga to either host, or sponsor, a dedicated mirror on a reliable server with a good backbone. What do you think?

Aminet mirrors? : Comment 11 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Trizt on 29-Apr-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Teemu I. Yliselä): TY: I just fear hosting an Aminet site could have the potential of
TY: bringing Amiga to legal difficulties. People have been known to
TY: spread viruses and programs with backdoors through Aminet
I think you sound all to silly, I don't think such things would increce only for an AmiNet server is hosted at ftp.amiga.com/pub/aminet or/and www.amiga.com/aminet
Amiga could only get legal problems if they would do as microsoft and put in backdoors in their software.
I think we should have a namelist collection for support for the Aminet in a way or another from Amiga Inc, so that AI won't be flooded of alot of e-mails about that.
Maybe ANN would be a good place for a such thing? |
