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 15 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Scott Konowal on 29-Apr-2000 22:00 GMT | I don't think this would be in the best interest of Aminet's future.
I think there are certain practices of business that could inhibit the
content of Aminet even further than it is today. Not only will the legality
of the software comeunder closer scrutiny, but also the content. Amiga has
already their displeasure at the AROS project. What will become of those
archives? What will besome of other archives that are seen as being in
conflict with Amiga's self interests? Wouldn't hosting packages, especially
commercial demos, be a form of endorsement? Neutrality offers greater
acceptance. |
