I really don't want to sound impatient or ungrateful -- I realize Trinity is an all-volunteer project to which I don't contribute (although I would if I had the skills). I really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into Trinity. But I have situations that are becoming critical, and I need to know how to plan.
I have users I've been putting off for almost 3 weeks now, as well as a couple machines of my own with problems I can't fix, because the mirrors are down. Every day I tell them it's still not working, but it should be "any time now."
Surely someone (Tim?) has some idea how much longer it's likely to be? All it takes is the upload bandwidth, the amount of data still to transfer, and some basic math to get a good estimate. Is it going to be another hour, a day, a week, 3 more weeks? If I can't at least find out very soon, I'm going to have to give up on Trinity and commit to another direction.

I sincerely apologize for the difficulties that you are experiencing. As a result of the recent donations by certain individuals, I have been able to send a hard disk with the entire TDE archive contents to the new primary mirror. When he receives this disk he will publish its contents to the mirror, at which point full service will be restored.
I will post back with an estimated delay as soon as I have this information.
Once again I apologize for the delays; please remember that TDE is a volunteer-based project that also relies on support both financially and via donated mirror bandwidth. We were not informed of the impending mirror failure until AFTER the mirror was taken offline, forcing a full reload of ~130GB of data to the new mirror system. That is a lot of data by U.S. Internet standards.

Thanks, Tim. No apologies needed or expected, just keep on doing the best you can with what you have.

True, everyone should be glad that your mirror(s) are not in .au

Haven't noticed this for a while. So I did an aptitude update/upgrade, and have some missing packages (resulting in non graphical environment). Could that be a result of these problems? Get me right, I don't want to complain (not at all!), just want to know if I just have to be patient or to search somewhere to solve my problem.

Thanks, Tim, that's a tremendous help!
Most are probably way ahead of me on this, but just a suggestion for those with more than one computer to install or upgrade: It'll save a lot of that limited bandwidth if we download to one, then copy the files to the other(s).

No problem! I posted that in response to this thread, so I don't expect that you could have read it earlier even if you wanted to. ;-)

I remembered, that I had a debmirror cronjob running (for a friend's FAI system). So I had a little bicycle riding today (to deactivate that) and found that the mirror was comlpete and I could update my notebook and have my X-System back :-) The bandwidth is to small to share with everyone, tought.
Excellent news indeed, thanks for all your efforts at TDE. I was stuck to 3.5.12 since a time but I hope to try 3.5.13 quickly, so thanks again.
