FYI the TDE mirror system is down due to permanent uidaho mirror

failure and secondary mirror server misconfiguration.
Details here: http://trinity-announce.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::16
I am working to resolve this issue, however given the limited upload bandwidth of the TDE servers and lack of donations it may be several
weeks
before service is 100% restored.
Note that all non-mirrored TDE services, such as the website, mailing lists, GIT, Wiki, and bugtracker will all continue to function
normally.
This failure affects mirrored source tarballs and binary packages
ONLY.

To make matters worse the secondary mirror at mirror.tokra.lv was taken offline some time ago without my knowledge. The maintainer of that mirror silently redirected all access to uidaho, so my automated checks did not detect a problem until today. That mirror maintainer does not want to reactivate his mirror, so the TDE binary/source archive mirror system will stay down until new mirrors can be brought up from scratch.
I am looking into a number of the suggestions given in this thread. I also have received mirror offers from several individuals, which are greatly appreciated! At this point it looks like any delay will be due to the limited TDE project bandwidth combined with the sheer size of the TDE source/binary archive.
Further updates will be forthcoming as events warrant. Thank you all for your patience!

Even more reason to switch to xz packages :)
Not trivial I'm afraid. The majority of the mirror archive is consumed in binary packages, which must be compressed according to each distribution's policies.
