Hi *, in the last few months we had an enormous increase in download traffic from the Cygwin areas on ftp.franken.de - reaching up to 300 gig per month. In addition to this since January we have to pay for this traffic on a volume instead of a bandwidth based rate, which (in Germany) is more than a small club like us can afford. So we have to change our download policy a "little bit": - ftp.franken.de will continue to mirror Cygwin and also continue to host the porters archive - public access to this mirror and the porters archive however will be restricted to members of our friendly society - ftp.uni-erlangen.de will mirror all the Cygwin areas from ftp.franken.de - public access to this site won't be restricted in any way - besides this ftp.uni-erlangen.de can offer a highspeed connection up to 155 Mbit/s, which might be a good thing[tm] for all users So can anyone who used to download things from ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/... please switch to ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/... Also I would ask anyone who referrs in READMEs or URLs to ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/... change this to ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/... Sorry for the inconvenience, but as stated above there is no other way to abide this service at all. Thx and bye.
