 fwiw I notice on the Server Status wiki page that xblade-15 is listed for
 ISO downloads...?
 that does not solve the reported (AFAIU) ">2gb files from apache2 needing
 a 64bit OS" problem, but as I just saw that I thought I'd mention it as
 another option for the future.

 for my part I don't really care where it goes as long as we have a semi-
 official, semi-restricted, and mostly-static (for years) place to stash
 stuff, including things like
 large binary sample datasets & custom installer packages which do not
 belong in the build script Subversion. (I'm talking about max 100mb files
 used in the build, not the final ISOs & overhead of backing up the multi-
 gigabyte files)

 it is perhaps nice to be able to chmod any md5sum listing on the download
 server to be go-w, but in the past I've mostly had to fix it the other way
 when the uploader did not make it g+w so it required more effort to
 maintain things...

 Hamish
