Hi All,<div><br></div><div>the GRASS community needs as soon as possible someone willing to offer a few GB and some bandwidth in Latin America and / or South Africa, because users located over there are experiencing serious problem in downloading the software (see below an email from grass-web ML). Please help!</div>

</div>ok, now I get it. We should be able to find an GRASS/OSGeo<br>
community member in the GRASS user or OSGeo discuss list<br>
to offer a few GB and some bandwidth.<br>
Maybe Madi, can you publicly ask?<br>

<br>
</div>ok, so still another South Africa mirror would be good.<br>
Rainer or Gavin: any suggestions?<br>

<br>
</div>thanks for this. Let's see if needed.<br>
<br>
So, what we have and how it works (relevant for Madi and me):<br>
<a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/mirrors/" target="_blank">http://grass.osgeo.org/mirrors/</a><br>
<br>
To "clone" the master server is now easy, one line of command essentially<br>
which points to the polish server.<br>
<br>
With Pawel Netzel who set it up, I already tried how to put the actually<br>
mirror name onto the main page but it was not yet beautiful enough for<br>
us. But that's a minor detail<br>
<br>
Best<br>

efficient these days.</div></div><br><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div><div><font color="#666666">Margherita DI LEO </font></div><div><font color="#666666">Postdoctoral Researcher</font></div><div><font color="#666666"><br>
