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 36 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Gary Peake on 30-Apr-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 33 (DarthJerbo): A lot of interesting posts. I have some questions.
1. Everyone is quick to say Amiga should take over the role of Aminet. Have you thought out the legal ramifications of this?
2. I see posts stating we should step up to the plate by putting our money where our mouth is for the Amiga community. Will the Amiga community also step up to the plate and donate funds to the present Aminet? This would seriously help Urban Mueller.
3. If Aminet tasks would be taken over by Amiga Inc, who would control Aminet then? Who would be responsible then for backdoors, viruses, and other problems including copyright violations?
Doing something like this is a serious step that calls for sound reasoning.
Sincerely, |
