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 29 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Trizt on 30-Apr-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (Deok-Min Yun): : This is what I thought exactly. What happens if Amiga goes belly up?
: I'd rather like to support current Aminet rather than Amiga taking
: over it. Please, leave Aminet alone.
I don't think it's good that Amiga Inc takes over the AmiNet, but that they would host the main server, we have seen how often the US server goes up'n'down. I think Amiga Inc has the better chanches to keep a main server runing reliblelly than wustle. but in case Amiga Inc would die of some reasons, wustle would be kept as a secondary main server, so if that happnes, there would only requere some slight changes and the AmiNet would still be there even inf Amiga Inc wouldn't. |
