I'm also working on this problem, from the GCC side of things: o From our web pages we no longer refer to ftp://gcc.gnu.org when it comes to snapshots, but only list our mirror sites. o Shortly I will do the same for our releases. Jeff, currently the "new snapshot is now available" mails directly specify "egcs.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/snapshots/2000-06-19". Would you mind changing that to " http://gcc.gnu.org/snapshots.html "? As far as I understood DJ's analysis, this alone has the potential to save at least 10% (possibly more) of overall traffic.
