Call for FreeType mirrors !! |

Hello,
The FreeType site is apparently much more succesful than I initially
thought when I moved it to a new server. As a consequence, we enjoy
between 280 & 500 downloads a day from the FTP server, and a number
of hits I didn't really quantify yet from the web and CVS services.
It might not seem impressive, but my company is paying the server's
hosting on a bandwidth basis, and we recently received a surprising
invoice that tells that we're now _way_ out of our current billing
threshold (by about 9Gb.. !!) for the month of January.
I can pay the bill this time, and for February, but I regret that
my company will not be able to support such a large bandwidth for
FreeType very long..
Meanwhile, I'm more or less convinced that bandwidth will be much
larger when FT2 is released in a few months, and we'd better be
ready to support the huge load the release will create, IMHO..
I am thus now calling for mirrors for the FTP site. I'm also
considering moving the FTP & Anonymous CVS to SourceForge or a
similar site.
Any comments and suggestions are welcomed :-)
