[Live-demo] Re: OSGeoLive, Sourceforge, and South Africa

Hi Ede,

I didn't say that this is not accepted from Sourceforge policy. Thank 
you for looking this up.
I just want to see the technical part about bringing Sourceforge servers 
up to date with such big files.

I understand and agree that having Sourceforge mirror our iso files 
would be a great benefit, due to their capacity.

Lets see more details about this issue.

Regards,
Angelos
