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 48 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Teemu I. Yliselä on 01-May-2000 22:00 GMT | I think the simplest and safest solution here would be that Amiga would start giving annual donations for maintaining Aminet. The sum needn't be large - I think the show of good will is the main purpose here anyway. In return a small notion along the lines of "Aminet is sponsored by Amiga, Inc" could be placed at all Aminet mirrors. I'm sure the hosts wouldn't have a problem with that. This would keep Aminet independent and non-commercial and free Amiga from any legal responsibility whilst giving Urban and co an extra incentive to keep up their good work. |
