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 37 of 50 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Don Cox on 30-Apr-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 36 (Gary Peake):
IMO Amiga should not host Aminet. It would be to put all the eggs in
one basket. Apart from the possibility of Amiga Inc going out of
business (as owners of Amiga have been known to do), they could have a
change of management policy and decide to close the thing down
overnight.
A good way to support Aminet is to place a regular order for the CDs.
That's what I do.
Soon, a 40Gig drive will be cheap enough that one could put all the
CDs onto it and have Aminet on line at home. |
