Hello Bambi!

I am still waiting for a decision if I can put mSQL onto an european server.

I do understand that you want your fancy new registratin scheme, but you
can integrate my (and other) mirror(s). After registering, just present 2
download links, one from your site and one from mine.

That might seem 'insecure' but Staroffice did something like that, too.
( which is not a sign for quality but a sign for a commom approach )

And if I wanted downloads without registering, I could go to
http://www.Hughes.com.au/download/archive/
... and would be perfectly fine.

So, please:
 Decide: Mirror or no mirror ?

List:
  Do you want mirrors outside Australia?
  For the german listmembers: wouldn't it be nice to have a download site
  inside the german university network? That would make 100k+/s download
  rate.

Anyway... if the list says that it does not need mirrors or Bambi that he
does not want mirrors I withdraw my offer, too...

Please answer,
