Folks,

I'd like to suggest using shell.telascience.org (198.202.74.218) as a
download server.  We have roughly 6GB free, and free up another 3GB fairly
easily.   I'd be willing to do some setup for this purpose, and updates
to the wiki if SAC is agreeable.

I would note that it has proven pretty slow to get new DNS pointers for
the .osgeo.org domain (several weeks for my last request) so it might
be good for us to set this up as downloads.osgeo.net if we have active
control of osgeo.net now.

Best regards,
