Description Paul Bredbury 2006-04-28 14:49:12 UTC
Hi, please remove these entries from the idsoftware line in the thirdpartymirrors file, because they no longer work:

ftp://ftp.bluesnews.com/idstuff
ftp://ftp.algx.net/idsoftware
http://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/ftp.idsoftware.com

The good news is that these new mirrors can be added:

ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/idsoftware
ftp://ftp.mirror.nl/pub/mirror/idsoftware/idstuff
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/idgames/idstuff

New idsoftware line in thirdpartymirrors

This is what the line should change to, after the changes above.

These are further candidates, but I haven't included them because they are very slow:

ftp://ftp.gamers.org/pub/idgames/idstuff
ftp://ftp.nsu.ru/mirrors/ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff

http://www.ftp-sites.org/ is a useful directory of anonymous FTP servers.

Fixed in CVS... I went ahead and added all of the mirrors, with the slow ones at the end, because they might not be slow for everyone.
