the icons on this page (the png files) should really be moved to ibiblio. currently they are stored on forums.gentoo.org/~kurtl/icons
yep -- I had sourced them from the forums server initially because of the slowdown problems on ibiblio. Now that this seems to be solved, I'll work on migrating them over.
the link to the icon tarball on this page, http://www.gentoo.org/images/icons/icons.tar.bz2, actually fails to point to anything.. Where have they gone :(
moved icon files to web server. closing bug.
