Give it a couple weeks to mirror. Right now we are having some issues with our primary mirror (see the threads by Mike Bird on this list), and the financial state of the project cannot support a high bandwidth to upload them faster.
This is not a "polemic" mail. Just want to raise awareness. I have been trying to test updating from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0 over the last 3 days, but the package download speed has been *ridiculously* slow for several big packages (like tdelibs for example), something like 821 B/s or 1109 B/s just to give some numbers. Not to mention the amount of timeouts I received. I understand the financial situation of the project (so the absence of any type of polemic complaint), but we are definitely not doing any good to us with this situation. Potential new users may just turn away when they try to download Trinity. IMO, in the future we must make sure that a package-wise fully updated mirror system is working properly before announcing the next release.
