Whats worse is that they never had to spend a penny on hosting opensource files, the likes of HEANET in Ireland paid out of their pocket (well me and other Irish taxpayers did in end) to host terabytes of files and use gigabits on downloads at a time when bandwidth was expensive (10 years back bandwidth was a lot more and HEAnets downloads were always fast and I know the guys used a lot of hardware back then for the mirror to support open source).

That's it, we need a open source community website that manages and links to the mirrors (HEANET, etc.).

ftp.heanet.ie was a 32GB Itanium, one of the first Itanium servers I know of.
