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 46 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 01-May-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 45 (Jon Peterson): | Her we go, guys (and girls?), how about some kind of registration fee per
| year. Something to serve as an incentive to maintain a service as
| important as AmiNet would be a very worthwhile investment,
Noble idea I'm sure, but unfortunately a lot of the archives on Aminet
could no longer be available for legal reasons. For example, GPL'd
software - okay there isn't a lot of it about in comparison to non-GPL'd
software, but I can think of some - The GNU tools (of course), Dopus 4,
Amster, XPK (which was originally written by Urban Mueller so I'm sure he's
aware of the legal ramifications.) |
