Hi,

If someone tries to download files via our FTP browser and the suggested
mirror hasn't synced yet, the visitor cannot download the file.

So... What I suggest it:

If the timestamp of the file is not older than 1 day, let's suggest main
FTP site, like sourceforge does, so that people won't get 404...

Any objections?

Regards,

Yes, I had considered that problem as well.

I was thinking of just hiding the file altogether. That way we don't
bring down svr4 when a popular new release gets noticed before it
progagates.
